Manning on Sargent links and Sainz departure

Norwich City boss Liam Manning says it's only "natural" that forward Josh Sargent would attract attention from top flight clubs after a strong Championship campaign last season.

The US international has been linked with recently promoted Premier League clubs Leeds United and Burnley - but Manning says he's been impressed with Sargent's professionalism despite all the outside noise.

"He's top, you see that, you see what he's done in the division, but the consequence of that is naturally he's going to be linked with clubs at a higher level," Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We'll have to see how that pans out but I can't speak highly enough of how he's applied himself in training and how he's gone about it.
