Norwich Leader Knapper Expresses Pride as Tavares Moves to Barcelona

Teenage Winger’s Transfer Announced

The transfer of the young winger has officially been revealed on Monday.

Early Promise and Development

Tavares made his first-team debut as a substitute during a pre-season match against the Dutch team Volendam last summer when he was just 15 years old, though he has yet to play in a competitive match at the senior level.

Reflections on His Departure

“We are undoubtedly saddened to see a promising academy player like Ajay leave, but our primary feeling is one of great pride,” stated Knapper.

“Ajay’s development reflects the exceptional efforts of everyone associated with our academy, who have influenced his journey and contributed to this remarkable milestone… we are immensely proud to witness him transition to such a renowned football club and academy in the world.”

Knapper also noted, “On the international stage, he has played for England at the under-15, under-16, and under-17 levels, and we are confident he will continue to make significant strides for both his club and country in the future.”
