Arsenal academy defender Krystian Bielik has confirmed that he is closing in on a deal to join Norwich from Arsenal.
The Polish stopper says that he expects to be on loan at Norwich next season, claiming that talks are close to completion.
When asked where he will be playing next season he answers Norwich and goes on to say that he hopes he can then break into the Arsenal first-team in the Premier League in the coming seasons.
Speaking to Polish outlet Laczy Nas Pilka, Bielik said this:
Probably I will play Norwich City on loan next, talks are close to finalization. Certainly, I hope that after I go back to Arsenal on a permanent basis I find myself in the first team and get a chance in the Premier League.
Bielik spent last season on loan to Championship side Birmingham City, racking up ten appearances in Blue after signing in January.
The 19-year-old, who can also play in holding midfield, has only played two senior matches for Arsenal since joining them from Legia Warsaw in 2014.
The centre-back has played just 18 senior games in his career to date.
Arsenal signed Bielik for £2.7m from Legia and there is unlikely to be any buy-out clause in the loan.
