Norwich City are poised to bolster their midfield with the imminent signing of Brentford’s attacking midfielder, Paris Maghoma. The 24-year-old is set to undergo a medical examination at Carrow Road, paving the way for a permanent transfer as the Canaries look to enhance their squad ahead of the season's final stretch.

Maghoma’s arrival is expected to add vital depth to a midfield that has been a key focus for City during this transfer window. He is likely to take up the number 10 role, a position that has raised concerns for head coach Philippe Clement. Should the transfer be finalised, Maghoma will join recent signings Ali Ahmed and Harry Amass in a revitalised squad eager to make an impact.
While the acquisition of Maghoma appears imminent, Norwich City are also actively pursuing further reinforcements, particularly in their attacking line. Reports suggest that the club has expressed interest in Bodø/Glimt forward Kasper Høgh as the transfer deadline approaches, highlighting their proactive approach in the market.
A product of Tottenham Hotspur’s youth academy, Maghoma made the switch to Brentford after an extensive development period at Spurs. Although his Premier League appearances this season have been limited to just eight, he has gained valuable experience through loan spells in the English Football League (EFL) with AFC Wimbledon, MK Dons, and Bolton Wanderers. Notably, during his time at Bolton, he netted nine goals in 50 appearances during the 2023/24 campaign, although his season ended on a disappointing note due to an injury sustained in the play-off final against Oxford United.
Despite recovering from injury late last year, Maghoma has yet to feature for Brentford this season. His integration into Norwich’s attacking midfield contingent, which already includes talents such as Anis Ben Slimane, Oscar Schwartau, Jacob Wright, and Emi Marcondes, could prove instrumental as the Canaries aim to climb the league table and secure a strong finish.
