New season 'a new challenge' - Clement

Norwich City will face a new challenge when the Championship season kicks off in August, according to boss Philippe Clement.

The Canaries went from second from bottom when the Belgian was appointed head coach in November to finish ninth in the table, winning 17 of his 31 league games in charge.

"It's a new challenge again, building a new squad, making transfers," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"We've done a lot in a short time so that's a positive, they can step into pre-season and aren't coming in August."

Norwich have signed defender Bruno Alves and winger Andre Brooks so far this summer, with Clement already working hard to shape his side for a promotion challenge after last season's strong finish.

"We have worked on basics, our way of playing. Everyone saw that growing last season but you need to go back on things to refresh it in people's minds," he added.

Norwich start the new Championship season at home to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, 15 August (KO 15:00 BST).
