Norwich City Transfers: 5 Summer Replacements For Wes Hoolahan

4. Roberto Firmino (Hoffenheim)

The Bundesliga is obviously one of the top five European leagues, so Brazilian attacking midfielder Roberto Firmino is somewhat on the radar. However, his current team Hoffenheim would certainly not be seen as one of top teams in Germany. The player is just 22 years old, and hasn€™t yet received any international recognition. His performance in Germany have clearly been highly impressive €“ especially this season €“and he would certainly be a fine addition for Norwich. Nevertheless, the club would want to approach the player on the quiet if at all possible, since they would be priced out if the bigger clubs across Europe showed an interest. One thing might go in the club€™s advantage is the fact that many other teams may think that the player is simply not worst the risk; it was probably this though process that allowed the Canaries to sign the likes of Leroy Fer and Ricky van Wolfswinkel this past summer. The player has shown some excellent form this season in the Bundesliga with 12 goals and eight assists. Further stats on Firmino include 2.5 shots, 1.8 key passes and 4.2 dribbles per match as well as an average rating of 7.81. The further good news is that he usually plays as an attacking midfielder €“ so could prove to be the perfect replacement for Wes Hoolahan.
