ANGUS GUNN is set for a medical at Norwich today ahead of a switch from Southampton that could rise to £5million.

The goalie, 25, had a successful loan spell in the 2017-18 season at Carrow Road, where his keeper dad Bryan is a club legend.

Saints signed Gunn for £13.5m from Manchester City the following campaign and had high hopes for the stopper.

But he slipped down the pecking order at St Mary’s with boss Ralph Hasenhuttl preferring Alex McCarthy.

Gunn was shipped out on loan to Championship side Stoke last term.

He missed two months with an ankle injury yet he did manage to make 15 appearances in the second division for the Potters.

However, Gunn is now set for another shot at the Premier League this season with newly-promoted Norwich.

Should the deal, worth £2.5m rising to £5m, go through as expected, he will compete with No1 Tim Krul.

The 33-year-old Dutchman has been the undisputed first-choice during his three years at Norwich following his move from Brighton.

Gunn’s arrival could spark a wave of new faces at Norwich this summer after SunSport revealed the club want Billy Gilmour on loan.

The Chelsea youngster was a standout performer for Steve Clarke’s Scotland in Friday’s 0-0 draw with England at Wembley.

Thomas Tuchel worked with Norwich manager Daniel Farke at Dortmund and is keen for Gilmour to play more games next term in the Prem.

Five other top-flight clubs want the player but the Canaries are currently leading the chase.
