Hernandez, 24, moved to Germany aged six and has played for Werder Bremen.

He also featured in a Wolfsburg’s second teams before joining Braunschweig in Germany’s second division in 2016.

Boss Daniel Farke has had issues out wide so far with Norwich.

Josh Murphy started well but has hit a run of bad form, and Marley Watkins has struggled to make an impact since joining from Barnsley.

Yanic Wildschut has also struggled to get into the team.

Hernandez would add pace and strength out wide for Norwich, something that has been noticeably lacking so far this season.
