Norwich sporting director Stuart Webber said recently that the club "turned down an offer in January for Andrew Omobamidele which was bigger than what we sold Ben Godfrey [to Everton] for."

"We're fortunate as a club that how we've run it, how we've tried to run it, is to make sure that we don't have a gun against our head," Webber continued.

"Sometimes we choose to sell the player, because it's the right thing maybe to reinvest in the squad.

"So I think theirs is a big possibility he could go in this window, if I’m honest. Do we want him to? No. But it will get to a point where if it helps us do other stuff at the club, and also if it’s right for the player.

"The one in January actually wasn’t right for us and probably wasn’t quite right for him as well at that time when I spoke to him and about him. It was a foreign club."

Webber added: "“If we start here on September 1 with Andrew, I’d be very surprised and very happy."
