Burnley defender Ben Gibson is set to complete his move to Norwich this weekend.

The Canaries have agreed to take Gibson on loan and the move will become permanent if they are promoted back to the Premier League at the first time of asking this season.

Gibson's expected switch to Carrow Road will bring an end to his disappointing time at Burnley.

The 27-year-old moved to Turf Moor from Middlesbrough in August 2018 but struggled to make an impact under Sean Dyche, recording just six appearances in that time.

Gibson - who completed his Norwich medical on Friday afternoon - played just once for Burnley last season and spent part of the campaign training with his former club, Middlesbrough.
