# Norwich: Angus Gunn set for Canaries medical

**Norwich City look set to complete the signing of goalkeeper Angus Gunn from Southampton, with a medical reportedly lined up for him.**

### The Lowdown: Gunn linked with move

The Canaries are preparing for their return to the Premier League following their triumphant 2020/21 Championship campaign which saw them win the title.

New signings are expected to come in this summer and Gunn has been strongly [linked](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/57424205) with a move in recent weeks, having enjoyed a spell on loan at Carrow Road back in 2017/18.

### The Latest: Medical lined up

It looks as though a move is now close to being completed, with [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/southampton-ace-gunn-undergoes-norwich-city-medical-as-leeds-united-ambush-fails/) reporting that the 25-year-old will undergo a medical on Monday.

Norwich are believed to have fought off late interest from Leeds United, with Gunn deciding to emulate his father Bryan and join the Canaries.

### The Verdict: Shrewd signing by Norwich

This is a move which makes perfect sense for Norwich, not only because of Gunn’s family links to the club, but also because of his quality, having being [hailed](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11700/11597433/ralph-hasenhuttl-angus-gunn-was-fantastic-on-southampton-debut) as ‘amazing’ by Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl in the past.

He can provide stiff competition for Tim Krul between the sticks, and at 25 he is still young for a goalkeeper, meaning he should only improve in the coming years. He also boasts Premier League experience and had a decent 2020/21 campaign on loan at Stoke, keeping six clean sheets in 15 appearances and conceding a respectable 21 goals ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angus-gunn/leistungsdaten/spieler/201574)).

Squad depth is vital in the Premier League, so having two strong options in goal can only be a good thing for Daniel Farke’s side as they get reacquainted with top-flight football once more.
