Norwich are in advanced talks to sign Brandon Williams on loan from Manchester United.
The Canaries are hopeful of winning the race for the full-back over other interested clubs - but a move is unlikely to be concluded this week.
Williams has also been a long-term target for Southampton and Newcastle, but United have been reluctant to loan him out in previous windows.
