During his season-long spell at Carrow Road, Gunn made 51 appearances for the Canaries and kept 15 clean sheets.

If he completes his move, Gunn could be joined at St Mary's by Denmark international Jannik Vestergaard after Southampton agreed an £18m fee for the defender with German club Borussia Monchengladbach.
