According to a report from The Star, Norwich City are interested in signing Galatasaray’s Senegalese forward Mbaye Diagne in the summer transfer window.

The 27-year-old has been one of the best players in Turkey’s top-flight this season having scored 28 goals so far. The report reveals that the Turkish giants will demand a fee as high as £17.2 million to part ways with their star striker at the end of the season.

The Canaries deservedly lifted the Championship title with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa on the final day of the season. Daniel Farke has worked wonders at Carrow Road after a shaky start to their campaign.

Norwich will now face the tough task of staying in the Premier League at the end of next season and Farke is reportedly looking to strengthen his frontline.

Teemu Pukki has led the line brilliantly with 29 goals this season but the Canaries will need someone to support him up front in a long Premier League season. Mbaye Diagne would thrive in Daniel Farke’s system and with players like Marco Stiepermann and Emiliano Buendia around him, he is sure to bring goals to the Canaries next season.

Daniel Farke shouldn’t have any second thoughts in paying the big bucks to sign Mbaye Diagne in the summer.
