Norwich City have agreed to sign striker Ricky Van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon in the summer for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £8.5m.
The Netherlands international (24) will sign a four-year deal on July 1, subject to paperwork being completed.
Van Wolfswinkel has scored 13 goals for Sporting Lisbon this season. “Ricky’s profile is a perfect fit for us — he’s young, ambitious and a proven goalscorer,” said Norwich boss Chris Hughton.
“He has an excellent goalscoring pedigree and he’s a young man very keen to continue his personal progression and to play in England. “He’s already an exciting talent but he still has more development as a player ahead of him.
Van Wolfswinkel signed a five-year deal when joining Sporting Lisbon from Netherlands club Utrecht in 2011.
He went on to score 23 goals in 39 games in his debut season for the Portuguese club.
