Norwich City forward Josh Sargent has put an end to mounting speculation over his future, responding just five minutes ago to swirling rumors suggesting he was set to leave the club this summer.

 

In an impromptu video message shared via his official Instagram account, Sargent addressed fans directly from the Canaries’ training ground at Colney.

 

> “I woke up to a thousand messages asking if I was packing my bags. Let me make it clear: I’m not going anywhere. I’m focused, I’m fit, and I’m proud to wear this badge,” said the 25-year-old striker.

 

 

 

The U.S. international’s response comes amid a flurry of transfer gossip linking him to a £12 million move to Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, as well as interest from newly promoted Premier League club Leicester City.

 

Sargent, who scored 14 goals in the 2024/25 Championship campaign, has been instrumental in Norwich’s push to return to the Premier League. With Dean Smith’s side narrowly missing out on promotion in the play-off semi-finals, many feared the club would struggle to hold on to its top talent.

 

But Sargent’s emphatic statement has sparked relief and celebration among fans. Within minutes of the post, #SargentStays began trending on X (formerly Twitter), with Norwich supporters flooding the platform with green and yellow heart emojis.

 

Club captain Grant Hanley reacted quickly to the news, posting:

 

> “That’s the spirit! Let’s build something special this season. 💪💛💚

 

 

 

While neither Norwich City nor Sargent’s representatives have issued an official press release yet, sources within the club confirm there have been no active negotiations for the American’s transfer.

 

As preseason training ramps up and the Championship fixtures loom, Sargent’s declaration signals not just loyalty — but intent. With his contract running until 2027, it seems the Missouri-born striker is ready to lead the charge for promotion once again.

 

Fans will now look to the club’s next moves in the transfer window, but one thing is certain: Josh Sargent is staying put — and he’s not done yet.
