Adam Forshaw is set to leave Norwich City and is in talks with Championship rivals Plymouth over a permanent Carrow Road exit. 

Forshaw, who joined Norwich on a free transfer in the summer after his Leeds spell ended, is putting the finishing touches on a move that will see him join Ian Foster’s side. 

Norwich were willing to sanction an exit for Forshaw this window providing he can find himself another opportunity - that has surfaced in the shape of Plymouth. 

There remains some work to do on the deal - but all parties are confident that Forshaw will join the Devon based side. 

Forshaw has entered the final six months of his Norwich contract and no talks have taken place over an extension - with sporting director Ben Knapper keen to lower the average age of City’s squad. 

The midfielder was signed by Knapper’s predecessor Stuart Webber and David Wagner in the summer as cover for duo Gabriel Sara and Kenny McLean. 

He has made just six Championship appearances for Norwich since signing - his last coming in City’s 3-1 defeat to Sunderland back in October. 

Forshaw has failed to make the last five matchday squads but did start in their FA Cup third round tie against Bristol Rovers earlier this month. 

The ex-Leeds and Middlesbrough man has moved to Norfolk without his family and could be seeking longer term security at this stage of his career. 

Ian Foster has just taken over at Home Park after Steven Schumacher left to join Stoke. 

Foster is believed to view Forshaw as an experienced addition to his young side as they battle to secure their Championship status this season. 

Wagner confirmed earlier this week that Norwich could sanction more exits after allowing Tony Springett to join Northampton on loan. 

“Today, it looks a good squad in terms of numbers. But in two weeks time, it can be totally different,” he said. “This is why I can't give a serious answer on this question, because everything can change so quickly. And we've experienced it this season, how everything can change, injury-wise or the availability of certain players, and this is why I'm quite calm on this.

"Obviously, you have to judge every single individual, every single situation at the time when the question comes. But at the moment, I'm calm on this, because I know how quickly things can change in football."
