USMNT’s Josh Sargent can’t stop scoring for Norwich, eyes USA soccer return: ‘I want to take my opportunity’

With a brace in the 4-1 victory of Norwich City on Stoke City on Saturday, Josh Sargent continues where he had stayed for the Canaryi. Now with three consecutive seasons with 10 or more goals, Sargent also stands up at an important moment for the National Team of the United States with the Concacaf Nations League on the Horizon.

Sargent now has 11 goals and five assists in the championship, while he pushes Norwich closer to the play -off spots while they are looking for promotion. With a strong partnership next to Borja Sainz, Sargent has now been at his best with a regular presence such as starting No. 9 for the club. With growing trust, the only limit that Sargent has not conquered becomes the starter for the USMNT. He was friendly matches with the team in October, but played less than half an hour in Copa America last summer.

“Songs are looking good at the moment, so I’m happy,” Sargent told CBS Sports Golazo Network after Saturday’s matches.

“I think I would come in this season, I had very high standards for myself. I absolutely wanted to be in the race for top scorer. Unfortunately, you know, with another injury, had a bit of a setback. Very happy with how I am answered, and I just want to keep it going. “

When Sargent has had the opportunity to act, he has had unfortunate injuries that have surfaced, as a result of which he has missed the national team on time since the World Cup 2022. But now that the calendar is on the point of marching, Sargent is the healthy attacker, while other USMNT -Stam guests such as Folarin Balogun and Ricardo Pepi are offside with injuries.

“Of course I want to come back with the boys and be with the national team, every chance that I can be back there,” said Sargent. “I want to take my chance to finally go with them and to score some goals.

Things are set up for him to do that in March. The way Sargent plays with Sainz is, is made to integrate with Christian Pulisic For the USMNT, and under Mauricio Pochettino, the attacking intention will be there. Sargent is also not afraid to use defensively dirty work to win teams and start the break.

If Sargent can break through, there is no reason why he cannot be the start for the USMNT in 2026, so the bet is quite high. If he is not going to leave his mark in shape for his club now, he may never have a better chance of impressing Pochettino. Time is now.
