Norwich City are among a host of clubs interested in Manchester City defender Callum Doyle.

The England Under-21 international helped Leicester City win the Championship title while on loan last season and could leave Etihad Stadium on a temporary basis again.

He has already spent time at Sunderland and Coventry City and the Canaries now want to bring him to Carrow Road, although they have competition.

Sporting director Ben Knapper is looking to partially revamp the squad, which he has described as too old.

They have prioritised a left-back and versatile Doyle, 20, fits the profile the former Arsenal loans manager is looking for.

Boss Johannes Hoff Thorup said after Saturday's 3-0 friendly win at Northampton he was hopeful the club were close to bringing in reinforcements.

Doyle made 23 appearances for Leicester last term to help them return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

He also helped Coventry to the play-off final in 2022-23, before they lost on penalties to Luton Town, and was part of the Sunderland squad promoted via the League One play-offs the season before.

Doyle, who has three England Under-21 caps, is yet to make his senior debut for City, having come through their academy.
