Brooks' Role in Norwich's Strategy
Brooks was the end game to a key transfer quest this summer on the right of Clement's attacking three. "Yes, it was a really important part to strengthen the right wing position for us," said the City chief. "You go to look at the market as a recruitment team, and you can go for experienced guys, you can go for people from abroad, but at one moment there was an opportunity with Andre, who's a young English player, but another with experience in the Championship." Clement believes Brooks can complement the kind of players around him with his physicality, speed, power, and strength.
