Jakov Medic: Norwich sign defender from Dutch club Ajax

“We were clear on what we needed to add defensively in order to improve this coming season and Jakov is a key part of that,” said Canaries sporting director Ben Knapper.

“He’s a great age and comes with a significant amount of experience during his time playing in both Germany and the Netherlands, in some big games.

“His profile is well-suited to the Championship and our style of play, and he is someone who has the right attributes and mentality to be a real success here.”

Norwich will find out their first opponents for next season when the English Football League fixtures are announced on Thursday.

“I’ve always had a wish to play here in England, so I didn’t think so much about this decision to become a player at Norwich,” said Medic, who will complete his move on 1 July.
