Sean Dyche&#8217;s men sit just one place above the relegation zone, but are seven points clear of West Ham United.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Sargent&#8217;s future at Carrow Road is in doubt after the striker declared himself unavailable for selection as City thrashed Walsall 5-1 in the FA Cup third round clash at Carrow Road last Sunday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  After Canaries boss Philippe Clement revealed that bombshell news, it emerged that MLS side Toronto had made a bid worth $18m (\u00a313.4m) to City for Sargent&#8217;s services. Reports in North American state that the Canadian side remain determined to land the 25-year-old.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Clement is expected to offer an update on the situation at his pre-match press conference on Friday lunchtime ahead of City&#8217;s trip to Wrexham this weekend, but was unequivocal that Sargent would not be leaving the club this month despite his actions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;I want to be short about that. He sent me a message yesterday evening that he was not available to play today because of transfer things that are in his head,&#8221; Clement said post-match last Sunday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;We need to speak about that this week inside the club, but of course it&#8217;s not something that you want, and it will be something with consequences.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  &#8220;The club has been really clear about that, we know in which situation we are, so he and his agent know the situation, so he will not leave this transfer window.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That&#8217;s according to a report by the Daily Telegraph, who claim the Premier League side have placed Sargent&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373345,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-373344","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373344","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373344"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373344\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373344"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373344"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373344"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
