Manchester United youngster http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Norwood is close to signing for the Reds, with the club having agreed a fee with the Premier League giants.
Norwood, who has been capped by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson offloads this summer.
The Scot completed the signing of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 from Borussia Dortmund and the Japanese International will surely be in contention for a starting midfield role, meaning that space at Old Trafford has become severely restricted for fringe midfielders.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-Cleverley-c35218, he has opinionated
that Oliver Norwood would have a better future if he was featuring on a regular basis.
With Scholes also signing on for another season, Ferguson has let go of the Academy graduate, who has no shortage of suitors on trail.
Huddersfield Town and Barnsley are currently embroiled in the race to acquire his signature, with the Tykes having the upper hand.
Coach Keith Hill is also fervent admirer of the starlet’s ability and rates him highly enough to launch a £400,000 bid for his services.
Barnsley director Don Rowing has now publicly announced that the transfer is in advanced stages and should be wrapped up in the next few days.
“Keith’s met with the player [Oliver Norwood] and we should find out on Thursday whether he’d like to sign for us. We’re hopeful he signs because we’ve offered him a very good deal.”
“But we know there’s another club interested in signing him, so we just have to hope that he wants to play for us. He’s going to speak to Keith again to let him know what he plans to do. We’ve agreed a fee for the player and offered him good personal terms,
so we’d be disappointed if he doesn’t decide to sign for us,” the official was quoted as saying.
The Championship side have made a number of key signings this summer, but Oliver Norwood could be a real bargain, if United do agree to their proposed fee.
