Dutch media report on Sunday night Dijks is prepared to join the Canaries until the end of the Championship season, after initially rejecting the chance of a permanent move last week.

Dijks and his representative travelled to Norfolk for talks with Alex Neil but returned to Holland without agreeing to a reported 4m Euro switch. Neil made it clear again on Saturday evening after his side beat Birmingham City 2-0 in the Championship he would only sanction Robbie Brady’s exit ahead of Tuesday’s transfer window deadline if he could bring in a suitable replacement.

Both Dijks and Sporting left-back Marvin Zeegelaar were on Neil’s target list but City appear to have convinced Dijks to link up with the Canaries for the Championship run in.

Brady is now expected to complete his move to Premier League Burnley.

City have also been linked with Wigan’s Yanic Wildschut, following reports of a failed £4m bid. Neil refused to comment on the Dutch left-sided player after beating the Blues and Wildschut made his return from a hamstring injury in the Latics’ 4-0 FA Cup defeat at Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
