Derby County, Nottingham Forest and Norwich City are weighing up moves for Arsenal’s Krystian Bielik, ESPN reports.

The 19-year-old made 10 appearances for Birmingham City this past season, and is said to have caught the eye of Blues’ Championship rivals Derby, Forest and Norwich.

And the trio could be in luck, with the report stating that Arsene Wenger is ready to loan out Bielik again next term.

Arsenal are unlikely to mind sending Bielik to either of Derby or Forest, with the pair’s respective bosses, Gary Rowett and Mark Warburton, having previously taken good care of young several Gunners including Jon Toral.

Having said that, it could be Norwich who are in greater need of a player like the Poland Under-21 international, who is a centre-back by trade, but can also operate in a holding midfield role.

The Canaries are releasing a trio of defenders, Michael Turner, Ryan Bennett and Sebastien Bassong, this summer, with Youssouf Mulumbu, a midfield player also heading out of Carrow Road.
