Norwich have landed defender Timm Klose on a three and a half year deal

Norwich City have completed the signing of Switzerland international defender Timm Klose from Wolfsburg.

The Canaries are keen to strengthen ahead of a possible relegation battle and Klose, a tall centre-back, has agreed a three and a half year deal, having been signed for an undisclosed fee.

Norwich boss Alex Neil said: "Timm has got plenty of experience, having played in the Bundesliga, in the Champions League, and for his country, which will be an asset to us. 

"As a player, he has got good technical ability and he's solid in the air. He can also play at either right centre-back or left centre-back. 

"We're delighted to have completed this deal and to have added Timm to our squad." 

It was always a dream to play in the Premier League and Norwich have given me a big chance. Now I want to give everything I can to be a good player in this league.

Klose has 12 international caps and played against England in a Euro 2016 qualifier at Wembley last autumn.

He was a regular for Wolfsburg when they finished second in the Bundesliga last season and lined up against Manchester United in the Champions League this term, although he has been in and out of the starting line-up following the signing of Dante.

He said: "It was always a dream to play in the Premier League and Norwich have given me a big chance.

"Now I want to give everything I can to be a good player in this league.

"When I came here and saw the training ground, the stadium, and everything - it was fantastic.

"This place smells like football, and that's how I want to play. 

"I knew that my agent (Gaetano Giallanza) played for Norwich, so I'd heard some good stories. I knew about the history of the club.

"When I looked up the schedule and at all the next matches, I was pretty excited. I'm happy to play against great teams and good players, and to improve my own game and reach the next level."

Matt Jarvis, Ivo Pinto and Ben Godfrey have already moved to Carrow Road this month and the Canaries are also on the verge of signing Everton forward Steven Naismith.
