Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom joins Norwich City on loan

The 22-year-old, who signed a new four-year contract with the Reds in May, spent last season on loan at West Brom, having previously impressed in the Championship for Derby in a temporary spell the previous campaign.

“I’m delighted as Andre fits our profile in terms of getting hungry players in who want to make their way in the game," said Norwich manager Alex Neil on the club's official website.

“He’s also had Premier League experience with a few different clubs, so we’re happy to get it over the line. It will add to the competition for places as he’s a flexible player.

“In the past he’s played centre-back and right-back. Having added competition to the left-hand side with Robbie Brady, it was important to add something to the right side as well.

“The squad is certainly getting stronger, which I’m really pleased about.”

Press Association Sport understands the newly-promoted Canaries will pay a loan fee of £1.25million for the England Under-21 defender, who can operate as a full-back or in the centre.

Wisdom will be included in Saturday's friendly with Brentford before Norwich meet Crystal Palce in their opening match of the league campaign against Crystal Palace a week on Saturday.
