HITC Sport understands Fulham goalkeeper Magnus Norman is set to join Rochdale on loan.
Rochdale have agreed a deal to sign Fulham goalkeeper Magnus Norman on loan until January, HITC Sport understands from sources close to the club.
Norman has come through the youth ranks at Fulham having joined the club at the age of nine and he is highly-regarded at Craven Cottage.
The 21-year-old has featured for Fulham in every age group, but has yet to make his first-team debut for the club.
Norman was a regular in the club’s Under-23s last season, but he is well down the pecking order in Slavisa Jokanovic’s first-team plans.
The recent arrivals of Fabri and Sergio Rico have further increased competition for places at Craven Cottage and Norman is unlikely to break into the first-team this season.
The ex-England Under-18 international has had loan spells out at Farnborough, Hayes and Yeading and Southport earlier in his career and Fulham believe he will benefit by going out on loan again to continue his development.
A number of Football League clubs have expressed an interest in Norman, but League One Rochdale have moved quickly to agree a deal to bring the shot-stopper to Spotland.
Norman is expected to go straight into the Rochdale squad for this weekend’s game with Fleetwood.
