Another new era at Norwich City began in the summer with the departure of David Wagner and the subsequent arrival of Johannes Hoff Thorup.
There have been many inconsistencies thus far, but this was probably caused in part by the high player turnover in the summer.
For Hoff Thorup, who would have been looking forward to teaching players like Jon Rowe, Gabriel Sara, and Abu Kamara, losing these guys would have been devastating.
He has started to get the most out of those at his disposal, though, and players like Callum Doyle and Borja Sainz have really impressed.
Despite this, they are now in ninth place in the league, and a successful January transfer window is probably necessary if they want to make it to the playoffs.
In light of this, Football League World has listed two players Norwich City ought to be considering in advance of the hectic New Year.
Kone, Richard
While it seems impossible for a permanent deal to be completed, a six-month loan would give Norwich a suitable amount of time to scout and plan their summer signing for that same position.
Therefore, the Canaries recruitment team should be heading west to Stamford Bridge so they can get an outlook on George before a possible January move.

Richard Kone, who is only 21 years old, has an incredible footballing story.
After travelling to the UK to compete in the Homeless World Cup in 2019, the Ivorian later joined Lopes Tavares, which was then renamed Athletic Newham, where he scored 88 goals in 109 appearances.
He was unable to advance until 2024, when his visa was ultimately granted, despite interest coming from all directions. As a result, he moved to Wycombe Wanderers, where he made a significant impression in less than a year.
The youthful player has made 44 appearances for the Chairboys so far, scoring 15 goals, including an outstanding nine this season in the league.
Interest will probably show up for this, and Norwich should start keeping an eye on his development in anticipation of a possible January transfer.
The Canaries do have forward options in Josh Sargent and Ante Crnac, but they should seek the Wycombe striker because of the former’s ongoing injury problems and the latter’s inexperience.
Although many will contend that his lack of Championship experience will work against him, he has overcome obstacles and is probably capable of handling one more jump after rising from the Essex Senior League to League One.
Thus, if Kone keeps up his performance through January, Hoff Thorup should take a chance and ask Mark Attanasio to finance a move for him.
George Tyrique
Norwich’s scouts should be going to Stamford Bridge and Cobham to get a look at Tyrique George, since they have a history of pursuing young talent.
The 18-year-old might be the ideal short-term solution for Norwich’s right-wing problems, which have been very noticeable this season.
The young player, who has already made his Conference League debut for Chelsea’s first squad, was described by Jadon Sancho as a player “with the world at his feet”.
He would be a perfect match on the right wing because of his directness and willingness to get shots off troublesome sides. He prefers to play in a 4-3-3 formation. He joined the Blues’ academy at the age of eight.
A six-month loan would allow Norwich enough time to scout and arrange their summer signing for that same position, even though it seems impossible to complete a permanent move.
In order to assess George before a potential January transfer, the Canaries’ recruitment team should be travelling west to Stamford Bridge.
