Norwich City have signed Denmark Under-19 international Oscar Schwartau on a four-year contract.

The 18-year-old arrives from Brondby IF, where he was the club's youngest debutant at the age of 16 years and 61 days in 2022, and later became their youngest goalscorer.

The attacking midfielder, who says his move to Carrow Road is a "big moment" in his career, has made 46 appearances and scored six goals over two seasons for Brondby and his deal includes an option for an extra year.

Canaries sporting director Ben Knapper told the club website, external: “Oscar is one of the most exciting talents in Danish football, and we’re delighted to be able to bring him here to Norwich City.

“Despite being just 18 years old, he already has some great experience in senior football, in both domestic and European competition. We are sure that in our environment, we can continue to develop him to realise his full potential.

"He’ll need time of course, but we’re looking forward to working with him and integrating him into our first-team group.”
