Norwich City have already been busy in the transfer window, and they are now closing in on another signing.

Jacob Wright was the Canaries’ first signing of the summer, with Daniel Grimshaw joining soon after from Plymouth Argyle.

However, with Angus Gunn departing, Liam Manning still needs a new number one at Carrow Road and he looks as though he is finally about to get his man.

Yet with Borja Sainz likely to leave and Leeds United interested in Josh Sargent, forwards are also going to be a necessity this summer. By bringing in a new starting goalkeeper this early, Norwich should be able to move on to their more exciting targets soon.

Norwich City close in on signing of Vladan Kovacevic

Vladan Kovacevic has been the subject of Canaries interest throughout June, and according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo’s print edition, the Championship outfit are set to get their hands on the shot-stopper in the coming days.

The 27-year-old is currently on the books of Sporting CP, but he spent time out on loan in Poland with Legia Warsaw in the second half of last season.

Legia had the option to make the deal permanent, but they decided not to take it and Norwich have opted to make a move for the Bosnian international.

Sporting spent €4.8m on the goalkeeper last July; however, he made just 10 appearances for the club and his departure has been coming.

Liam Manning will be looking at attacking options now

With the goalkeeper situation finally looking as though it is going to be sorted at Carrow Road, the next step for Norwich is to bring in the stars who will be looking to fire the team to the top six.

Manning has been given a handsome transfer kitty, and the Canaries are a dark horse in the race for promotion, but they need to find replacements for Sargent and Sainz.

The two scored nearly half of their team’s goals last season and successors must be found to ensure that the Norfolk outfit can climb the table. They are both going to be tough to replace, but it is not an impossible task – especially if substantial fees are brought in.
