Norwich City reach agreement to land new signing ahead of Millwall trip
Norwich City have reached an agreement to sign Pedro Lima from Palmeiras, according to ESPN Brasil (via Sport Witness).
Norwich City are looking to lure the youngster to Carrow Road this summer to further bolster their ranks.
Lima, 20, has been on the books of his current club for his whole career to date but is now being linked with a move away.
As per ESPN Brasil (via Sport Witness), the player is poised to fly to England to conclude a switch to the Canaries.
Norwich could see the youngster as a decent long-term addition as they keep one eye on the future. It may naturally take a while for the prospect to adapt to life in a new country but the club do have a couple of South American players in their squad already at the moment such as Gabriel Sara and Marcelino Núñez.
Lima has risen up through the academy at Palmeiras and has represented them at various youth levels over recent times. He has been a key player for their U20’s side and has fired in nine goals in 42 games in all competitions.
The Brazil youth international has made one senior appearance to date and may now be allowed to head out the exit door to pursue a new challenge in his career.
Norwich won 1-0 away at QPR in the first round of the Carabao Cup last night courtesy of Jonathan Rowe’s late winner. David Wagner’s side have picked up four points from their first two league fixtures of this campaign.
They beat Hull City 2-1 on the opening day at home before drawing 4-4 away at Southampton last weekend. The East Anglian outfit are back in action this Sunday against Millwall on their own patch.

Neil Warnock’s side haven’t start all that well this season, taking just one point from their opening three games of the season, coming in a 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough last time out.
Norwich meanwhile have started positively. They sit in 3rd place of the table having taken seven points from their opening three of the season, beating Millwall 3-1 at Carrow Road last weekend.
“Norwich have started better than probably anyone expected them too. Wagner has clearly been putting in the work on the training ground this summer and his side look strong.
“Huddersfield meanwhile look like they’ll struggle this season. It’s been a tough window for them so far but with Warnock at the wheel, they’ll always have a chance of survival.
“In this one though, I think it could be a fairly routine afternoon for Norwich. They’ve got far more quality than Huddersfield and far more confidence right now.”
“Norwich should be looking to take nothing less than three points here. They’ve started well and looked better geared for a promotion fight than many thought they were, so that’s a testament to Wagner and his coaching staff.
“There will be good spells and memorably moments for Huddersfield but I can’t see them getting anything here unfortunately. If they can rock the Canaries early on and get the fans vocal, they could snatch something.
“However, I can’t see that happening. I’ll go for an away win and a clean sheet for the Canaries.”
