Norwich City's United States forward Josh Sargent has signed a new contract.
The 23-year-old - who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury he picked up in August - has committed to the Canaries until the summer of 2028.
He scored three goals in Norwich's first four games of the season before his injury and has scored 20 times since an £8m move to Carrow Road from Werder Bremen in the summer of 2021.
He played in all three of the USA's games at last year's World Cup.
