Norwich City manager David Wagner assesses Hull City’s transfer activity. The two will face off in front of the cameras on Friday night at MKM Stadium.
Norwich City’s under-pressure manager David Wagner has praised Hull City’s work in the transfer market after the Tigers secured Fabio Carvalho in perhaps one of the biggest signings of the Championship season so far.
Carvalho took part in his first training session with his new City teammates on Wednesday and will come straight into Liam Rosenior’s squad for tonight’s clash against Wagner’s Canaries at 8pm in front of an almost sell-out crowd at the MKM Stadium.
Carvalho’s arrival captured the imagination of City fans and generated plenty of interest beyond East Yorkshire, while Norwich fans looked on with envy at their first arrival in the January window under new sporting director Ben Knapper .
City’s acquisition of Carvalho from Liverpool follows the arrivals of Liam Delap, Scott Twine, Jaden Philogene and Tyler Morton in the summer, and Wagner believes Tigers are serious in their bid to finish in the Championship play-offs and give themselves a advantage.
aiming for promotion to the Premier League.
“It’s clear that when you see the type of player and profile that Hull have signed, you can see that they take it seriously and that they try as hard as a football club, and you can see how competitive they were against us in the first phase “game of the season.
So he’s a contender. And we want to make sure we’re as competitive as possible,” Wagner told Pink Un.
“We have to do a lot of things right. But we’re prepared. And we can’t wait to face this challenge.”
