Bid made: Norwich receive formal offer for £4 million-rated midfield “lion”

Norwich City clearly eager to go one better than last season’s Championship playoff loss, they may be dealt an early blow with one of their star players attracting interest from a Europa League side.

Following their playoff disappointment, Norwich City have wasted no time getting their team ready to try and go one step further next season. The Canaries’ recent retained list has seen a number of out of favour stars shown the door at Carrow Road, freeing up space for new talents.

The big changes at Norwich have also a fresh face arrive in the dugout. Following David Wagner’s almost immediate dismissal following the playoff defeat, the Canaries moved quickly to appoint Johannes Hoff Thorup. The former Nordsjælland manager signed a three-year deal with the club back in May allowing Norwich to avoid the chaotic rush to find a coach seen at other Championship clubs.

The midfielder has been a vital part of Norwich’s side this season as the Canaries made it to the playoffs but ultimately fell short over two legs against Leeds United. During the season, Nunez featured 36 times, contributing two goals and three assists in the process.

Nunez is a midfielder that excels with the ball at his feet. The 24-year-old ranks in the 97th percentile for shots taken and 91st percentile for passes attempted when compared to midfielders in similar competitions.
