Town Set to Sign Wolves Keeper Norris - Ipswich Town News
Town are set to sign Wolves keeper Will Norris on loan as their replacement for the departing Bartosz Bialkowski.
Football Insider broke the news that the Blues are close to agreeing a deal with the Premier League side which will see Norris join Town for the season.
The keeper is expected at Portman Road later today to undergo a medical and complete the formalities on the deal.
Watford-born Norris started his career in non-league with the likes of Northwood, Hatfield and Royston before joining Cambridge United in 2012.
After spells back on loan with Royston, Norris, who is 6ft 3in tall, established himself at Cambridge where he made 93 senior appearances before moving to Wolves in July 2017 for an undisclosed fee.
Since his switch to Molineux Norris has made only one Championship start and one brief Premier League sub appearance on the final day of last season, in addition to six starts in cup competitions.
Norris, who has two years left on his Wolves deal, will be handed the task of battling Tomas Holy for the position between the sticks during the Blues’ League One campaign.
