Norwich City's interest in Belgian striker Adriano Bertaccini has shifted, as the player's recent change of agent suggests a potential January transfer away from Anderlecht. Earlier this summer, several clubs, including Norwich, had expressed interest in the 26-year-old forward, with Servette securing a deal for the player. However, Anderlecht refused the loan option proposed by Servette, leaving Bertaccini without a move yet.
Now, the former Sint Truiden striker has taken control of his transfer situation by switching agents ahead of the January window. As the fourth choice striker at Anderlecht, Bertaccini clearly desires more playing time. Norwich and other clubs may once again show interest in the forward if he continues to lack opportunities. Meanwhile, Australian forward Mohamed Touré leads the scoring for Norwich with five goals, and his continued strong start to the season could make him a target for other teams in January.
Bertaccini's current prospects are uncertain, but he may be open to a move to England to work with Belgian coach Phillippe Clement, who has a strong reputation in Belgian football. Other clubs that were interested in Bertaccini previously include his former team Sint Truiden, Hertha Berlin, and Saint-Etienne, who could also re-approach the player in January, particularly if they are facing a goal-scoring crisis.
