According to Sun reporter Alan Nixon, the young goalkeeper has been on trial at Tottenham in recent times, and Spurs are impressed, with the club apparently ready to negotiate a fee to bring him in.
Indeed, according to Nixon, Norwich’s efforts to entice the goalkeeper to sign a new contract have thus far failed, and it is now possible that the two teams will sit down at the bargaining table and work out a deal.
Spurs take closer look at Dylan Thompson
The highly-rated Thompson has been training at Spurs in the recent past after turning down a contract with the Canaries and the clubs could sort out a fee soon, with it quite clear that he is preferring a switch to the Premier League table toppers as things stand.
Indeed, it looks as though he is going to get his wish, as Spurs have liked what they have seen from him in training and the two sides could reach an agreement over a move in the near future.
Spurs are said to be happy to pay a compensation fee to Norwich City in order to secure his signature and could have reportedly pulled ahead of Sheffield Wednesday in this particular transfer race, with the Owls also taking a look at Thompson as they look at ways they can bolster their options moving forwards.
Indeed, the Owls are struggling in the Championship at the moment and so, in theory, could provide him with starting opportunities sooner than Spurs could, but with Thompson training with Spurs, it seems as though his heart lies with moving to the current league leaders in the Premier League rather than elsewhere.
Spurs on course to sign another EFL talent
Spurs certainly haven’t been afraid to look to the EFL for potential new signings.
Dele Alli is perhaps the best recent example of that with the midfielder joining from MK Dons and enjoying his best form in his career to date there, linking up with the likes of Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen.
Not every young player that heads there is a hit, though, with Jack Clarke struggling to keep his form going upon joining Spurs after tearing things up at Leeds United.
Indeed, he has now made his way to Sunderland, where he appears to be finding his feet again, though it has taken him some time.
