Norwich City Opinion: Why the Canaries should go all out for Louis Schaub?
Austrian international Louis Schaub has been a revelation for FC Koln in the Bundesliga 2. He joined from Rapid Vienna last summer and has simply hit the ground running in the Bundesliga 2, managing three goals and 13 assists till date. In fact, his vital contributions have helped Koln up to second in the table and in the frame for promotion.
With Louis Schaub enjoying a fantastic debut season in the German second division, Norwich City should make an attempt to sign him in the summer.

The Canaries have been astonishingly turned from mid-table fodder to promotion favourites by Daniel Farke.
Farke has done an excellent job and deserves massive praise for employing an attractive style of play as well as in getting the best out of every single player.
It doesn’t stop there, the German tactician has also promoted youth, with the likes of Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis, Todd Cantwell and Ben Godfrey excelling this season.
What’s been a treat to watch is how Norwich City’s attacking players have combined and demolished teams. Teemu Pukki has been exceptional, while the likes of Emi Buendia, Marco Stiepermann, Onel Hernandez and Mario Vrancic have proved their worth.
Even though Farke’s focus will be on achieving promotion, he may have one eye on potential transfer targets in the summer.
And it isn’t wrong to plan for the summer transfer window from now despite the Canaries still some way off the inevitable. That said, Farke should go for Koln star Louis Schaub.
Predominantly an attacking midfielder, Louis Schaub can also play on either wing or in central midfield when required. He is someone who likes to link up play and hurt the opposition with his creativity and passing range. The Austria international is an expert dribbler with the ball at his feet and is capable of making penetrative runs in the box to score goals.
Furthermore, Schaub has a knack for scoring important goals for his team which is precisely the type of player who can benefit Norwich heading into a potential Premier League campaign.
Conclusion
Farke is still on the lookout for a long-term replacement for James Maddison, who left Norwich for Leicester City last season. The likes of Buendia, Stiepermann and Hernandez have done really well but Premier League football is a different kettle of fish altogether.

Hence, competition for places in the team is a must and the addition of a playmaker of Schaub’s ilk will undoubtedly bolster Farke’s attacking options at the Carrow Road. He could be the perfect man to replace the departed Maddison.
