According to the latest report from Sky Sports, Calum Doyle, a young talent nurtured by Manchester City's youth system, has completed his medical for a loan move to Norwich, signaling that the young midfielder will continue his career development by donning the Norwich kit in the new season.
Although City and Norwich agreed in principle on a loan deal a few weeks ago, the process had to be delayed slightly due to City's decision to include Doyle in their squad for the US pre-season tour. Norwich have shown great patience and are confident that Doyle's inclusion in the squad will give the team a new lease of life.
Doyle is one of a group of young players handpicked and focused on by City boss Pep Guardiola. During the Europa League, when many first team players were absent due to national team call-ups, Guardiola used a number of youth players, including Doyle, to fill in the gaps and train the team. Doyle showed great potential and strength in his limited playing time, winning the recognition of Guardiola and the fans.
Last season, Doyle had been loaned out to play for Championship winners Leicester City, accumulating a wealth of experience in the game. During his time at Leicester City, he not only had excellent performances in the second tier, but also had several opportunities to represent the first team. In addition, Doyle has also played for clubs such as Sunderland and Coventry, all of which have laid a solid foundation for his growth and progress.
Manchester City chose to loan Doyle to Norwich mainly because of the team's tactical style and the advantage of being able to provide Doyle with more first-team playing opportunities. Norwich, as a team full of vitality and fighting spirit, its style of play matches Doyle's technical characteristics and style of play, and I believe that he will be able to get more training and improvement here.
