Joseph, who had a successful season with Grenoble, is being eyed by Norwich, but may face competition from Bristol City for his signature.
Jonathan Rowe, a 21-year-old winger, has attracted interest from Marseille, with the French giants having already signed players like Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Ismael Kone from other English clubs. Despite Marseille’s interest in Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah falling through, they managed to secure Elye Wahi from Lens. Rowe could potentially join Greenwood at Marseille under Roberto De Zerbi’s leadership, but negotiations are still ongoing between the two clubs. Norwich are exploring various options, including Lenny Joseph, to bolster their squad in their pursuit of promotion.
Delia Smith, who has been in control of Norwich City for 27 years, has given up control of the club without receiving any financial compensation. Jonathan Rowe, who joined Norwich’s academy at a young age and worked his way up to the senior squad in 2021, had an impressive season despite facing a two-month injury setback. Norwich are being proactive in their search for replacements, with Lenny Joseph standing out as a potential candidate to fill Rowe’s shoes. The Canaries are focusing on building a competitive squad as they aim for a successful campaign in the Championship.
Lenny Joseph, a 23-year-old winger, had a productive season with Grenoble, scoring four goals and providing six assists in 39 appearances.

Bristol City are also interested in Joseph, adding to the competition for his signature. As negotiations regarding Jonathan Rowe’s potential move to Marseille progress, Norwich are actively exploring alternatives like Joseph to strengthen their squad and enhance their chances of securing promotion back to the Premier League.
