Norwich City's growing Danish contingent has been a significant source of comfort for Oscar Schwartau as he adapts to life in Norfolk.

The 18-year-old arrived at Carrow Road this summer for around £2million, his first move away from Denmark after impressing in his homeland with Brondby.

He's had more than a taste of home since signing for the Canaries, however, with new coaching duo Johannes Hoff Thorup and Glen Riddersholm quick to welcome their compatriot.

They're joined by Schwartau's former team-mate Anis Ben Slimane and Danish midfielder Jacob Sorensen, as well as ex-Nordsjaelland man Emiliano Marcondes, who last week signed a deal until the end of the season.

Schwartau believes the Scandinavian flavour has helped after making the move west, even if he knows there's still work to do.

"It's been difficult but very nice," he said. "I'm settling in here now so it's been good.

"It's been nice to have the Danish guys. It's been easy to come into this group. Of course I know Anis from Denmark, so having him here has been good.

"It's important, and it makes it a lot easier to settle down, get a good routine and become part of the group. That's so important.

"Johannes and I had a lot of good conversations about the years here, what the plan was for me and the club, other stuff like that. It was really good to hear that from him.

"It's been intense, but I'm very glad to be here and I'm enjoying it. I still need to adapt, but I think this place suits me very well. I'm just looking forward to doing more."

Schwartau made an impressive cameo during Hull's visit on Saturday, as Norwich extended their unbeaten home run to 23 games. He says retaining that fortress-like status in NR1 will be vital this term, as he targets a play-off push.

"It's very important to play well at home, get the fans into it so they like being there, seeing us win," he continued, speaking to official club channels. "That means so much to us as a group.

"If we continue to build that confidence, and as many points as possible, we'll be in and around the top six."
