Norwich City are reportedly close to signing a midfielder from Danish side Esbjerg.

According to Bold.dk, Jacob Lungi Sorensen will be heading to Norfolk in time for next season.

Esbjerg will play the NordicBet League next season, after being relegated from the Super League.

The 22-year-old has been a regular in the Esbjerg team for the past two seasons and came through the club’s youth system.

Esbjerg Sports Manager Jimmi Nagel Jacobsen said: “I will not comment on specific club names whether there was or is something in it.”

Sorensen has appeared for Denmark at Under-18, Under-20 and Under-21 levels.
