Swedish landslagsbacken Martin Olsson has belonged to Norwich in three seasons. The club finished in the relegation place last Premier League season, allowing Norwich next season rather than play in The Championship.
That does not make Martin Olsson. But Norwich Olsson sees as an important cog in the team - and has turned down four bids at left-back in the summer one of which came from West Ham United, says agent Hasan Cetinkaya to Football Channel.
- It is true that it received multiple bids, both from other clubs abroad and also in the Premier League. There are clubs who put very well bid, especially considering that it's only a year left on the contract. Norwich tries to stop the transition, it is the fourth time now, says Cetinkaya to Football Channel.
- We had an agreement on a sum - now want to Norwich even more. It does not work quite so in football. Martin has been loyal to Norwich. It is not acceptable that they do.
Sky Sports reported on a total of three million pounds.
- It was even more.
How much was that?
- I would not speak about. How much have they received the most? - It was the highest to date now.
With one year left on the contract to Martin Olsson soon leave the club for free.
- The danger for them is that Martin can write in a "pre-contract" in a few months. Then they get not one dime. We would prefer that he leave now and get well paid.
How are you going now?
- Martin is very clear that he does not want to play in the Championship and he wants to take the next step. He would particularly like to play in the Premier League, when he was so good in the Championship too. Martin is not a Championship player. But we do not give up. We are optimistic.
28-year-old Olsson made 27 appearances for Norwich last season. Left back played all the minutes of Sweden's European Championship matches this summer and has scraped together 38 international matches in total.
