Danny Mills has discussed the future of Josh Sargent at Norwich City
New Castle may need to sell Josh Sargent to strengthen their squad and improve their chances of promotion.
Selling Sargent could provide funds for multiple areas of the team, following a similar strategy to Bale’s transfer.
The decision to sell Sargent will be a tough one but could lead to a more balanced team with better prospects of promotion.
Danny Mills has claimed that Norwich City may need to sell Josh Sargent this summer in order to strengthen their overall squad.
Sargent was a standout figure in David Wagner’s side last season, contributing 16 goals and two assists from 26 appearances in the Championship (all stats from Fbref).

It has been reported that Leeds United are eyeing a potential move for the 24-year-old this summer.
However, it remains to be seen whether the Whites will pursue a move following their own failure to go back up to the Premier League.

Mills has compared the potential sale of Sargent this summer to when Tottenham Hotspur cashed in on Gareth Bale in 2013.
