Norwich City and Italian side Hellas Verona are in talks for the 26-year-old defensive midfielder Cheikh Niasse, but there is some distance between the two clubs. Niasse, who has one cap for Senegal, has three years left on his current contract with Hellas Verona. There is uncertainty surrounding his future at the club following its relegation into Serie B. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 20 appearances and provided one assist. Other clubs are also interested in the Senegalese player, as up to three clubs have made enquiries about signing him. His current market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
