In demand: Norwich want to sign Jake Livermoore (Picture: Getty)

Norwich boss Chris Hughton wants to return to former club Tottenham to take two of their youngsters on loan.

The Canaries coach has been linked with bids to borrow midfielder Jake Livermore and defender Kyle Naughton for the new Premier League season.

Livermore, 23, made 19 appearances for the Londoners in all competitions last season while Naughton fared slightly better with 26 games at left-back.

But Tottenham are expected to strengthen in both positions and the duo may be allowed to leave the club on loan to further their careers by playing regular first-team football at the highest level.

The policy has been hugely successful for Spurs with Kyle Walker shining on loan at both Aston Villa and Queens Park Rangers while Danny Rose has just completed a successful year at Sunderland where he was named as the Black Cats’ player if the season.



Hughton played for Tottenham as well as being an assistant coach at the club and wants Livermore and Naughton to upgrade a squad which flirted dangerously with relegation from the top flight last term.

Naughton, who has already enjoyed one spell on-loan at Norwich, is believed to be keen on a return, while Livermore has interest from other clubs including Aston Villa.
