Personal terms have been agreed and Yildirim is keen to make the move and play in England this season.

The 22-year-old Yildirim currently plays for Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais, where he has struggled to make a significant impact.

Despite his limited goal output, Norwich are impressed by his physical attributes and believe he could be a valuable addition to their squad.

With the departure of Idah imminent, the Canaries are actively seeking a new forward to bolster their attacking options.

Yildirim’s potential availability could provide a solution, although the club will face competition from other interested parties.

If Norwich can secure a deal for Yildirim, it would represent a significant investment in their squad as they aim to return to the Premier League.

The powerful striker scored one goal, in the Europa League’s group stage, in 15 appearances for Rennes but gained experience playing abroad in Ligue 1.

The Turkish international was called up to the Euro 2024 squad this summer and has two goals and three international caps for the national team.
