The day before Bodø/Glimt were to play Manchester City in the Champions League, the Daily Telegraph reported that Norwich had sent an offer to the elite league club for Kasper Høgh. Glimt responded by beating Guardiola, Haaland and the City gang, Høgh responded with two goals against one of the world’s best clubs. After the game, it came dryly from Kjetli Knutsen, that Høgh is absolutely not going anywhere else. Norwich are fighting for survival in the English second division, so it all seemed somewhat ridiculous. A few days later, Norwich is again in focus, this time it is the giant Barcelona who come to the ball island.
Norwich manager Philippe Clement will have to do without Høgh, the Dane has bigger tasks at the club that sunk England’s second best club. According to the hyperactive transfer journalist Romano, it is Barcelona who end up signing at Norwich, one of the club’s biggest talents.

Romano reports Barca are close to signing 16-year-old Ajay Tavares from Norwich to La Masia, Barca’s legendary academy. Although Tavares is British by nationality, he has an EU passport, a key factor that allows him to immediately play in La Masia and compete in the reserve team without having to wait until he reaches “legal” age.
So who is Ajay Tavares, the big talent with four appearances so far in the England U17 national team?
Tavares is part of a profile Barcelona have actively targeted in recent years. He is a strong and robust, right-footed left winger, who is comfortable playing on his weaker side, which gives him a natural tendency to attack central spaces. In addition, he can also operate as a center forward when needed.
