Norwich City have made an approach towards Huddersfield Town defender Michael Hefele.

According to The Mirror, Norwich have offered to increase his current wages at Huddersfield in an attempt to lure him to Carrow Road.

The report claims that Derby have done the same, with Hefele having two years to run on his contract at Huddersfield.

Hefele signed for Huddersfield from German outfit Dynamo Dresden at the start of last season, going on to score five times in 42 appearances from defence.

The towering central defender was a key part of the club’s promotion to the Premier League, leading to interest from a clutch of Championship promotion hopefuls.

A deal does seem unlikely, given that he is an important part of a Huddersfield team set for their first season in the Premier League.

However, Norwich’s offer of increasing his wages could sway his mind and convince him to follow Stuart Webber in making the switch from Yorkshire.
