    Manchester City have agreed to send England Under-21 international Callum Doyle on loan to Norwich.

    A deal is yet to be signed but all parties are satisfied Carrow Road is the best destination for the defender to spend next season.

    There is no option for Norwich to buy the 20-year-old but the Championship side are paying a loan fee.

    Doyle was at the Canaries' Colney training ground earlier this month and is understood to have been impressed by the set up and head coach Johannes Thorup's plans.

    The versatile defender can play as a centre-back and left-back with Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper having prioritised a left-back with the former Arsenal loans manager keen to lower the average age of the squad.

    Doyle must now wait to see if he is included in Pep Guardiola's final squad for City's tour of the USA, where they are due to face Celtic, AC Milan, Barcelona and Chelsea.

    Guardiola has limited back up options for Josko Gvardiol, who played for Croatia at Euro 2024, and Doyle could be kept on for the friendly games.

    Doyle won the Championship while on loan at Leicester last season and helped Coventry reach the play-off final in 2023, losing to Luton on penalties.

    The season before he was promoted to the Championship with Sunderland when they won the League One play-offs.

    Norwich City are among a host of clubs interested in Manchester City defender Callum Doyle.

    The England Under-21 international helped Leicester City win the Championship title while on loan last season and could leave Etihad Stadium on a temporary basis again.

    He has already spent time at Sunderland and Coventry City and the Canaries now want to bring him to Carrow Road, although they have competition.

    Sporting director Ben Knapper is looking to partially revamp the squad, which he has described as too old.

    They have prioritised a left-back and versatile Doyle, 20, fits the profile the former Arsenal loans manager is looking for.

    Boss Johannes Hoff Thorup said after Saturday's 3-0 friendly win at Northampton he was hopeful the club were close to bringing in reinforcements.

    Doyle made 23 appearances for Leicester last term to help them return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

    He also helped Coventry to the play-off final in 2022-23, before they lost on penalties to Luton Town, and was part of the Sunderland squad promoted via the League One play-offs the season before.

    Doyle, who has three England Under-21 caps, is yet to make his senior debut for City, having come through their academy.
