Jonathan Rowe joins Marseille on loan from Norwich City
Jonathan Rowe has completed a season-long loan move to Olympique de Marseille following a standout campaign with Norwich City in the Championship. The 21-year-old winger, who made 56 appearances for the Canaries across all competitions, joins Roberto De Zerbi's side with an initial loan deal that includes an option to buy for £17 million. Rowe, a product of Norwich's academy, made his senior debut for the club in December 2021 during a Premier League match against Crystal Palace. However, it was last season under manager David Wagner that he truly made his mark, scoring 12 goals in 32 league matches and helping Norwich reach the play-offs.
