Johannes Hoff Thorup provides Norwich City transfer update as January looms | OneFootball

Thorup has admitted that his side are still looking at a particular market ahead of the January window.

Norwich City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup has revealed that his side will continue to keep tabs on the Danish market ahead of the January window.

Speaking to Tipsbladet, he provided an insight into what type of players the Canaries' fans could see in the coming windows.

It's perhaps a little premature to talk about the January transfer window, with the previous one closing less than a month ago.

As well as this, no manager can guarantee that they will still be in charge of a team in three months, especially in the modern day.

Norwich have made a mixed start to the 2024/25 campaign, losing their opening game 2-0 against Oxford United.

The Canaries were extremely poor that day and it looked as though it could have been a long season for them.

However, they have managed to get a reasonable number of points on the board, with their 4-1 win against Watford last weekend likely to have boosted their confidence.

Thorup's side played some good football against the Hornets - and they richly benefitted from their summer additions that day - with signings Callum Doyle and Ben Chrisene both getting themselves on the scoresheet.

Norwich's boss will be hoping that his summer signings can continue to have an impact in the coming months, with no shortage of players coming in to compensate for those who left.

Having already recruited Schwartau from his home nation of Denmark, Thorup has revealed that Norwich will continue to look at that market.

Speaking to Tipsbladet (via Sport Witness), he said: "It is no secret that we are looking in that market as well, because there are many young and talented Danish players.

"I also still think that we can afford to say that Anis (Ben Slimane) is a young or semi-young Danish player. So, it is interesting for us, and it is a market we continue to look in.

"In the end, it will be the quality that determines it and not the fit. But it is a market we are keeping an eye on."

The Danish market could allow Norwich City to become more unpredictable

Mark Attanasio (pictured above), who is set to be Norwich's majority shareholder from next March, will need to find ways to get his team out of this division.

Competition for promotion will only become greater in the coming years - and it's clear that they need something unique if they want to secure a return to the Premier League.

Using the Danish market could pay dividends for the Canaries, because it's a market that Thorup seems to know very well.

Other teams in the Championship may not know too much about this market, so recruiting some talented players from Denmark could allow the Canaries to become unpredictable in a good way.

It will be interesting to see whether this market is used more in January.
