Norwich City’s summer is being fought on two fronts at once, and Monday’s quiet transfer front made that split obvious. Philippe Clement is trying to finish a rebuild that has already reshaped his midfield and defence, while simultaneously squeezing every day of a shortened pre-season for maximum value before the Championship kicks off next month.
Monday brought no new arrivals, but it did bring confirmation from the club that Friday’s trip to Switzerland will be shown live on Canaries TV — a small but useful piece of business for supporters planning their week around a friendly that has taken on outsized importance as Clement’s last look at his squad before matches start to count.
The pace of the window itself has cooled since a busy June, when Norwich moved on Bruno Alves, Sam Field and Andre Brooks inside the space of a week. Ryan Giles’ value is what, exactly, if Hull are ready to let a promoted full-back walk for the right price — and is Norwich prepared to test that in the final month of the window?
How Can Fans Watch Norwich City v St. Gallen?
According to Norwich City’s official website, Friday’s friendly against FC St. Gallen (7pm UK kick-off, Kybunpark) will be streamed live on Canaries TV for supporters unable to make the trip. It is Norwich’s first match in Switzerland since 1978, and their only overseas test of this summer’s pre-season programme, per the Pink Un.
Who Have Norwich City Signed So Far In Summer 2026?
Norwich’s rebuild under Clement has centred on three confirmed additions. Centre-back Bruno Alves arrived on a season-long loan from Cruzeiro, with an option to sign the Brazil youth international permanently. Midfielder Sam Field had his loan from QPR made permanent, in a deal the Pink Un reported as an initial £1.5m rising to a potential £2.8m. Winger Andre Brooks signed a five-year contract after arriving from Sheffield United, where he was voted the club’s Young Player of the Year. Captain Kenny McLean has also signed a new two-year contract, extending his stay to 2028.
Who Have Norwich City Sold Or Released This Summer?
The most significant departure has been striker Josh Sargent, whose move to Toronto FC was reported at a fee in the region of £16m. That sale left Clement short of a senior centre-forward heading into pre-season, a gap the club has yet to fill.
Who Are Norwich City Still Trying To Sign?
Left-back remains the position Clement is most determined to strengthen. Norwich have been credited with interest in Hull City’s Ryan Giles, though Hull Live has reported the 26-year-old wants to stay and fight for his place in the Premier League, making a move look unlikely for now. LASK’s American left-back George Bello remains on the club’s radar too, though his contract extension to 2027 in Austria has weakened the chance of a cheap deal. Up front, Norwich have been linked with a move for a new centre-forward following Sargent’s exit, though no verified target has been confirmed as of 13th July 2026.
What’s Left In Norwich City’s Pre-Season Schedule?
Clement’s side have played twice behind closed doors at their Colney training base so far — a 2-0 win over King’s Lynn Town and a goalless draw with Colchester United — before Friday’s trip to St. Gallen. Norwich then have a training camp in London, according to the Pink Un, ahead of the Championship opener at home to West Brom on August 15.
