Sydney van Hooijdonk: Norwich boss David Wagner pleased with 'super positive' signing

Norwich City boss David Wagner insists he will give January signing Sydney van Hooijdonk time to adjust to the club.

The Dutch striker, son of former Celtic and Nottingham Forest forward Pierre van Hooijdonk, was Norwich's sole major signing of the transfer window.

He made his debut as a stoppage-time substitute against Coventry City.

"I don't like to put too much pressure on individuals but we are really excited to have him in our group," Wagner told BBC Radio Norfolk.

Van Hooijdonk is on loan from Italian club Bologna, where he has had limited opportunities since joining them in the summer of 2021.
