Norwich sign Slimane and Gordon on loan

Anis Ben Slimane scored his first Sheffield United goal against Wrexham in the League Cup earlier this month

Norwich City have completed the signings of Tunisia midfielder Anis Ben Slimane from Sheffield United and winger Kaide Gordon from Liverpool on season-long loan deals.

The deal for Slimane includes an option to buy the 23-year-old, who joined the Blades from Danish club Brondby last summer for an undisclosed fee.

He was a 70th-minute substitute when United drew 0-0 at Carrow Road last Saturday.

Teenage winger Gordon arrives at Carrow Road on a straight loan without the option of a permanent deal.

"We feel he is another really good addition that will increase the competition within our group and give us more options and flexibility," said Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper regarding Slimane's switch.

"He adds a slightly different profile than what we have already, and can draw upon experience of both the Premier League and international football."

Slimane was previously coached by City boss Johannes Hoff Thorup when he was in the academy squad at Danish club Akademisk Boldklub.

"I know the manager pretty well and I've been told a lot of good things about the club, fans, training facilities. I'm just really looking forward to getting started," he said.

Having arrived from Derby in February 2021, Gordon has made seven appearances in all competitions for the Reds, scoring once.

The 19-year-old made his Liverpool debut against the Canaries in the Carabao Cup in September 2021.

"This is a great club, my first Liverpool game was at Carrow Road and the fans and atmosphere were great, which was a good experience for me," he told the club website.

Norwich are away to Coventry City on Saturday.

They have also signed midfielder Brandon Forbes from Scottish club Dundee United on a deal to the summer of 2026, with an option of a further year, and the 18-year-old will initially go into the club's development sides.
