According to Voetball International, Norwich City are interested in Gent defender William Troost-Ekong.

Norwich will have to battle Swansea, Brighton and Crystal Palace, who are also thought to be keen on a summer move for Troost-Ekong. The Nigerian international is attracting a lot of interest following his successful loan spell at Haugesund.

Troost-Ekong started his career in England spending time at Fulham in his youth days before joining Tottenham. He failed to make a single senior appearance at Tottenham, leading to a move to FC Groningen in Holland before ending up at Gent, where he currently plies his trade.

The 22-year-old central defender is highly thought of in Belgium and would be a good addition to any of the sides linked with him. Norwich are in desperate need of defenders this summer, so Troost-Ekong could fill a gap for Alex Neil.

He is a full Nigeria international and already has five caps to his name for his Country. He looks to be a top prospect, who could be a fine signing for City.
