Norwich City were defeated 2-1 at Swansea City on Wednesday night, their fourth defeat in six Championship outings.
After a strong start to the season, David Wagner’s side has struggled in recent weeks, and they were below-par against the Swans Friday night.
Fans will expect a response from the squad moving ahead, but recent performances have thrown doubt on the team’s ability to sustain a drive for the play-offs.
Jonathan Rowe has emerged as a noteworthy performer.
Despite the issues, Jonathan Rowe’s emergence as a vital player at Carrow Road has been a significant plus for the Canaries this season.
The 20-year-old attacker made his Yellows debut in 2021, so he’s been recognized as a talent for some time, but he’s managed to establish himself as a regular in the current campaign.
Rowe has five goals in ten games, but it’s not only because he’s found a clinical edge in front of goal; he’s also a constant threat with his pace and dribbling abilities.
As a result, the winger is sure to receive interest in the coming window or two, but Norwich will want to hold firm, with a large offer needed to entice Rowe away from Norfolk.
But how much is Rowe really worth? Our writers share their ideas here…
Gallagher, Chris
Right now, I believe you’re looking at roughly £7 million.
It’s difficult to picture Norwich selling Rowe for such a high fee, but he does need to show himself over a longer length of time before he can be valued among some of the finest players in the Championship.
However, I’m confident he has the capacity to reach that level, but it’s now up to the player to do so consistently in order to establish he’s not simply a flash in the pan.
Another aspect influencing his value is his contract, which is set to end in the summer of 2025.
This will worry important figures at Carrow Road, who know that if he cannot agree on fresh terms, the club would be in a tough position in the coming year.

Of course, opponents will want to take advantage of this, and while his age entitles them to compensation, it’s unlikely to generate the kind of fee Norwich is looking for.
As a result, tying Rowe down to a long-term agreement that protects the club’s major asset must be a priority.

Jonathan Rowe is frighteningly attractive.
He’s worth at least £10 million to me right now and has the ability to be a genuine top star if he stays on this path.
Rowe has burst onto the scene at Carrow Road at the age of 20 and has undoubtedly become one of the Canaries’ most significant players with his goal contributions and general influence in the final third for David Wagner’s team.
Rowe combines incredible speed, dribbling ability, and a keen eye for goal, making him one of the standout attacking players in the Championship this season.
With him and Gabriel Sara probably Norwich City’s most coveted commodities right now, five goals and one assist in the league this season is quite a return.
Interest in the winger is only going to grow as the season progresses, but if we’re talking about a transfer valuation right now, anything less than £10m wouldn’t be fair in my opinion.
His potential in the game is enormous.
