Norwich City news: Abu Kamara’s interest, David Wagner’s frustration, Gabriel Sara’s promise
Norwich City in good form, with wins against Cardiff, QPR and Bristol City.
The January transfer window is crucial for Norwich to strengthen the squad and improve in the second half of the season. Coach David Wagner, frustrated by the lack of creativity in the final third, discusses areas for improvement with the players.

The Canaries have been in decent form in recent weeks; Wins against Cardiff, QPR and Bristol City were sandwiched between defeats against Watford.
Norwich are now 13th in the Championship and their recent form has been enough to keep David Wagner in charge as pressure mounts on the German following a run of disappointing results.
With the January transfer window just a few weeks away, the Canaries will be looking to strengthen their squad in a bid to move up the table after a somewhat disappointing first half of the season.
A strong transfer window could make the difference in the second half of the season. Last week, Teamtalk reported that both Brentford and German club Freiburg are interested in Norwich’s Abu Kamara.
The 20-year-old striker underwent the Canary Islands’ training program before making his first-team debut at the end of last season. Norwich City have a Jonathan Rowe 2.0 under their noses and must resist transfer interest:
Kamara joined Portsmouth on a season-long loan this summer and impressed for the League One leaders, scoring four goals in 26 games from the wing.
It would be a shame for the Canaries to lose a player who came through the youth ranks before having the chance to see him express his full potential.
David Wagner’s frustration with Preston’s equaliserNorwich manager Wagner has vented his frustration after Saturday’s draw against North End. He told Pinkun: “The result is obviously frustrating.
The performance was good in defence. The counter-pressing was very good. We hit them in the final third. I think there would have been no complaints if we had won the game.“What we didn’t do was lack a bit of creativity in the final third.
And obviously, we were not reckless. In a game like this you can’t create nine or ten clear chances. So you have to make sure you do at least two or three like we did.”Then you have to make sure you use at least one, and we didn’t do that.
That’s why the result is obviously frustrating. I see the good things the players showed.” But we clearly discussed in the locker room what we need to do better.
Gabriel Sara says there is more to come from NorwichStar midfielder Gabriel Sara has promised there will be more to come from his side ahead of their midweek clash against Sheffield Wednesday. In an interview with Eastern Daily Press, Sara spoke about her new role on the team: “It’s a little different for me.
“I wasn’t used to it, but last season I played like that and I got more and more used to it.” “It’s all for the team and I will do everything I can to help the team.” Now I try to help in this way.
I can still create chances when I play in this position and I can help even more in defense.”I think I can continue to grow and be capable of doing even more things.
I expect this of myself and I hope I can give more to this team. “The Brazilian has played a bigger role in recent weeks, deploying regular midfielder Kenny McLean as a defender.
