Sevilla defenders Joris Gnagnon and Ibrahim Amadou could swap La Liga for the Premier League with Norwich City or Burnley.

Norwich City and Burnley are looking to sign Sevilla duo Ibrahim Amadou and Joris Gnagnon before the transfer window slams shut on Thursday, according to Estadio Deportivo.

One year ago, two of the most highly-rated defenders in French football moved to Andalusia.

Amadou joined from Lille while Gnagnon arrived after making his name at Rennes with both players costing around £12 million each, as reported by Transfermarkt.

Both failed to live up to expectations, however. Amadou started just seven La Liga games while Gnagnon was included in the first XI on just four occasions.

So it is no real surprise that, with Sevilla bringing in three new defenders over the last few weeks, Amadou and Gnagnon are expected to leave.

Estadio Deportivo claims that Norwich are keen to sign the Frenchmen on loan with an option to make their deals permanent should they impress at Carrow Road.

Burnley are also mulling over a potential double-deal, though they are understood to be learning more towards Gnagnon (above) than Amadou.

Interest from Sean Dyche’s side in not one but two centre-backs will only add fuel to the speculation linking James Tarkowski with Leicester City. According to Sky, The Foxes want the England international to fill a Harry Maguire-shaped void at the heart of their backline.
