Jacob Wright keen to turn Norwich City loan into permanent move
Norwich City loanee Jacob Wright has expressed his desire to make his stay at Carrow Road permanent following an encouraging start to life in East Anglia.
The 19-year-old midfielder arrived from Manchester City in January, linking up with head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup. Since then, he has made nine appearances for the Canaries—including four starts—and is enjoying the chance to gain valuable Championship experience.
Norwich reportedly have a £2.3 million option to buy Wright at the end of the season, with additional clauses included. The young midfielder appears eager to continue his development in the second tier and is keen to help Norwich push for a return to the Premier League.
Following a narrow loss to Plymouth Argyle, Norwich now sit eight points off the play-off spots with just six games to go. While a top-six finish looks unlikely, Wright is focused on gaining more experience and making a long-term impact at the club.
Wright confirms desire to stay at Norwich
Speaking to Pink Un, Wright made his intentions clear, saying he hopes to remain with Norwich beyond the end of his loan spell.
“Absolutely, 100 per cent,” he said when asked about a permanent move. “I feel like I’m starting to build something really positive here. It’s a great club with a family feel, and I’m loving the way we play.
“I’d love to stay and help push for better results next season. I’m learning every game and giving everything in training to earn my place in the starting XI. I’m growing as a player on and off the pitch and just want to contribute however I can.”
A promising prospect for Norwich’s future
Wright’s performances have turned heads in a short amount of time, and he impressed again with a lively display off the bench against Plymouth. If Norwich trigger their option to buy, it could prove a smart investment, with the potential for significant long-term value.
With his talent and attitude, Wright could play a key role in helping the Canaries mount a genuine promotion push next season—and perhaps become the latest in a long line of young players to shine in the Championship.
