Sky Sports News HQ understands that Norwich are close to completing the signing of Dinamo Zagreb's Portuguese defender Ivo Pinto.
The fee is reportedly worth around £2.2m to Dinamo. Norwich have declined the opportunity to comment on the transfer.
The Premier League side are thought to have beaten off competition from Stuttgart and Anderlecht for the 25-year-old right-back, who was part of the Zagreb team that played Arsenal twice in the Champions League this season.
The former Portugal Under-21 international joined Zagreb on a four-year deal from Cluj two years ago.
Speaking in 2013, then Dinamo coach Krunoslav Jurcic said: "He is very solid in defence and he likes to join the attack so we think he will bring us some power on the flank, which is very important in football."
