Norwich City’s start to the Thorup era has been rocky, but recent results suggest a promising future.

Some supporters dispute Gunn’s abilities, but the 28-year-old has been a mainstay in the starting XI for the past two seasons. With 150 appearances for Norwich City and 31 Premier League games under his belt, he is nearing the milestone.

The fact that he has held a starting berth under another new coach, Thorup, demonstrates the value management perceive in him, and this is unlikely to alter very soon.

Other out-of-contract players

Gunn is not the only player in the final year of his contract with Norwich City.

As a result, it might be a hectic time for sporting director Knapper.

Transfermarkt reports that many players, including Ashley Barnes, Onel Hernandez, Grant Hanley, George Long, Christian Fassnacht, Jacob Sorernsen, Archie Mair, Tony Springett, Jaden Warner, and Jonathan Tomkinson, will see their contracts expire next summer.
