The Championship looks forward to welcoming back Norwich City ahead of the 2022/23 season. The Canaries have been taking the term ‘Yo-yo Club’ to the extremes and another relegation sees Dean Smith‘s men drop back into the second tier.
Norwich will start as favourites for promotion, and they will have many neutral supporters in that respect. However, their chances of getting back into the top flight may well depend on dealings in the summer. A number of talented names in the squad may just be getting tired of the constant rollercoaster ride between the divisions.
Canaries Tipped to Take Flight
Along with the other newly relegated clubs, Norwich City will be widely tipped to make it back into the Premier League at the first time of asking. They’ve done it before and have the experience and quality needed to get back out of the Championship.

Those odds will show that Norwich City are too good for the Championship while being not quite good enough for the Premier League. However, the prognosis may well depend on the future of key players such as these:
Teemu Pukki
Finnish international striker Teemu Pukki tends to reflect Norwich’s fortunes over the last few years. He’s prolific in the Championship but can’t quite deliver at the top level.
He’s 32 now and, after four years at Carrow Road, he may feel that it’s time to move on and face one final challenge. One of the newly promoted teams such as Fulham or Bournemouth may feel he’s a good fit while there has been reported interest from abroad.
Celta Vigo have been linked with Teemu Pukki and this could be an important summer for Norwich City and their most important striker.
Todd Cantwell
When Norwich City last dropped down into the Championship in 2020, Todd Cantwell was linked with a number of top clubs. A big-money move failed to materialize and the midfielder found himself playing out the 2021/22 season in the second tier following a loan deal with Bournemouth.
That loan will run out this summer and Cantwell will be at a crossroads. At 24, he still has time to deliver on his potential but it’s clear that his form has dipped. He could slot back into the Norwich City Championship side but, after playing a role with Bournemouth, the Cherries may be happy enough to offer Todd Cantwell the chance to play in the Premier League once again.
Max Aarons
Like his teammate Todd Cantwell, defender Max Aarons found himself linked with a number of top half Premier League clubs when Norwich City last went down. For whatever reason, a deal did not come to fruition and the promising England Under 21 player was left to languish in the second tier.
Aarons is only 22 and continues to impress. In contrast to others in this Norwich squad, those rumours of a move elsewhere have returned. Both Arsenal and Manchester United have recently been mentioned in connection with a summer bid and the player would find it hard to turn down teams of that calibre.
It will be widely expected that Norwich City will come straight back up into the Premier League. It’s happened in the past but, if key players were to move in the summer, the Canaries may find themselves in the Championship for some time yet
