Norwich City have agreed deals for Fulham duo Dejan Stefanovic and Elliot Omozusi.

Stefanovic has signed a two-year contract at Carrow Road and joins for an undisclosed fee, while Omozusi has arrived on a season-long loan.

Veteran defender Stefanovic only linked up with Fulham last summer from Portsmouth and is hoping to help Norwich back into the Premier League.

"I have been in talks for some weeks now and I'm delighted that a deal has finally been struck for me to join Norwich City and Glenn Roeder as we set about challenging for promotion this season," Stefanovic told the club's official website.

"We want to be playing Premiership football again as soon as possible and I would like to do that with Delia Smith's Norwich City."

Rebuilding

Omozusi has made 11 first-team appearances for Fulham and Norwich boss Glenn Roeder is happy with his double signing.

Roeder said: "It's great to bring in two players with Premiership experience and their arrival is part of our squad rebuilding ahead of the new season.

"Stefanovic is a player I tried to sign when I was with West Ham, after he first caught my eye at Vitesse Arnhem. I couldn't afford him then, but have a second opportunity to work with him now and I am very much looking forward to it.

"Elliot is a young player who we've been aware of for some time. He's hugely talented and has been known to Lee Clark at Fulham.

"We hope that, like Ryan Bertrand, we can bring him on as a talent, so that he returns to his club a better player."
