Liverpool transfer news: Reds accept £2.5m bid from Norwich City for winger Sergi Canos
KEY POINTS
- The 19-year-old wide man spent last season on loan at Brentford.
- Canos made his Liverpool first-team debut on final day of 2015-16 Premier League season.
Liverpool have reportedly accepted a £2.5m ($3.2m) bid from Norwich City for winger Sergi Canos. The 19-year-old Spaniard does not feature in Jurgen Klopp's long-term plans and is to be allowed to leave Anfield this summer.
The former Barcelona youth player spent last season on loan with Brentford in the Championship, where he scored seven goals in 39 appearances for the west London club. And although the Spain Under-19 international made his first-team debut for the Reds on the final day of the 2015-16 Premier League season, Klopp is prepared to sell him, according to the BBC.
It is thought that the Liverpool winger could replace the departed Nathan Redmond at Carrow Road. Redmond, an England under-21 international, moved back to the Premier League with Southampton for a fee in the region of £10m after Norwich's relegation last season.
Canos is one of a number of players who could leave Liverpool in the coming weeks as Klopp oversees a squad overhaul. Controversial striker Mario Balotelli has been linked with a move away from Anfield, while Martin Skrtel is on the cusp of completing a £5m ($6.6m) move to Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Skrtel, 31, has been at Liverpool since 2008 and has made more than 200 appearances for the club. But like Canos and Balotelli, the defender reportedly does not feature in Klopp's vision for the club.
