    WHAT HAPPENED

    U.S. international Josh Sargent was named to the English Football League Championship Team of the Season during the league's annual awards ceremony, alongside Norwich City teammate Borja Sainz.

    The 25-year-old American striker earned the recognition after scoring 15 goals in 32 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. That includes an impressive streak of 10 goals in 19 matches after returning from midseason groin surgery, because of which he missed 14 games in the middle of the season.

    WHAT’S NEXT?

    The Canaries have only one more game left in their 2024-25 season as they host Cardiff City on May 2, the final day of the regular Championship season. However, post that, the club faces a few major decisions as Sargent has reported interest from Premier League and Bundesliga teams. Prior to that, the USMNT striker will be eager to end his international goal drought as the national team faces Turkey and Switzerland in early June, followed by the CONCACAF Gold Cup.
