Norwich City snapped Ebou Adams up from Dartford on deadline day in January 2016.

Norwich City midfielder Ebou Adams is set to bid farewell to Carrow Road as talks over a permanent move to Leyton Orient progress.

The energetic midfielder’s contract with the Canaries is set to expire this summer, meaning Adams will become a free agent.

According to the East London and West Sussex Guardian, Adams has attracted interest from several Football League and National League clubs with impressive displays for Orient following a January loan move.

Previously, the Gambia international had featured sporadically in a five-month loan spell with League One promotion chasers Shrewsbury Town, alongside fellow Norwich loanees Carlton Morris and Ben Godfrey.

Following the switch, Adams has made 12 appearances for O’s and quickly established himself as a first-team regular.

The 22-year-old even rejected a call-up to the Gambia national team in a bid to secure his future with Orient.

Adams was signed as part of a hectic January transfer window for Norwich in 2016. Along with signing four first-team players, the Canaries completed deals for exciting prospects James Maddison and Ben Godfrey in the same period.

Unfortunately, his trajectory has not followed the aforementioned duo, but he will be delighted to seal a move away following no first-team appearances for Norwich.

Orient head coach Justin Edinburgh confirmed his intention to sign Adams permanently on Saturday, stating: “He knows what we are about and he’s someone we would love to be attracting to this football club. So, we hope that can happen.”
