Transfer silly season is in full swing, with Norwich City already linked with over 50 players, in spite of limited resources and a desire to keep the club’s title-winning squad largely in tact.
The only two signings so far were revealed before confirmation, with the Telegraph accurately claiming Manchester City winger Patrick Roberts was joining on loan and Football Insider breaking news of young Rochdale midfielder Dan Adshead's arrival this week, for a reported £300,000 fee.
