This comes after reports suggested that both Championship clubs were interested in submitting bids for the Welshman.

Earlier this week the Canaries announced the signing of Brentford attacking midfielder Paris Maghoma on a three-year deal. Maghoma follows Harry Amass and Ali Ahmed in moving to Carrow Road with City keen to bolster Philippe Clement’s squad as they continue their battle against relegation in the Championship.

Norwich now turn their attention to the striker position as they look to secure the services of Bodo Glimt’s Kasper Høgh who fired his team into the Champions League play-off spots in a 2-1 away victory at Atletico Madrid on Wednesday that sealed a play-off spot next month for the Norwegians.

The Reading Chronicle understands that though there were rumours of Portsmouth being interested in Charlie Savage in the past, he is not considered as an option by the Championship side’s club hierarchy.

Portsmouth are currently fighting to stay out of the relegation zone in the Championship sitting in 21st position with 30 points. Three points above Oxford United in 23rd and only three points behind Norwich in 18th.

Though Pompey are looking to bolster their squad they are currently seeking to secure the services of Sheffield Wednesday’s Svante Ingelsson with bids being knocked back as per The News.

This comes as fellow Championship side Oxford United had bids rejected by Reading FC for Charlie Savage last week. The midfield is an area which Oxford fans have been asking for backup in according to reporter Malachi Obrey, and the Yellows earlier this month tried to buy star Charlie Savage for a fee of £500,000 which was swiftly rejected – There were reports that Oxford returned with a rejected bid of £750,000.

The Reading Chronicle revealed last week that Reading FC have held firm with their valuation of Charlie Savage being well over £1.5 million, and will not let the midfielder go unless a club matches their own valuation.

Savage signed from Manchester United to Reading in 2023 on a four-year contract with a big sell-on clause that is reported to be around 40-50%.

Like his father Robbie, who is the manager at non-league side Forest Green Rovers, Savage came through the Red Devils’ academy as a central midfielder.

He is contracted with the Royals until July 2027.
