Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom is close to agreeing a season-long loan with Premier League new boys Norwich City.

Wisdom is expected to make the temporary switch to the promoted Canaries in the coming days with the Reds having negotiated a loan fee of £1.25million.

The 22-year-old, who penned a new four-year contract at Anfield in May, has seen competition for the right-back berth increased by the summer arrivals of Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez.

Wisdom signed for Liverpool as a 14-year-old from Bradford City and was handed his debut by Brendan Rodgers in September 2012, scoring in a 5-3 Europa League win at Young Boys.

He made 19 appearances in his debut campaign but after only three outings at the start of the following season, he was loaned out to Championship side Derby County for the remainder of the campaign.

Wisdom spent last season on loan at West Bromwich Albion but struggled for regular first-team action after Tony Pulis took over as manager in January.

The defender's only appearance of pre-season came with a 45-minute run-out in the opening 4-0 friendly win over a Thai All Stars in Bangkok.
