Norwich target Dean Henderson heading to Sheffield United

Norwich City have missed out on the signature of Manchester United youngster Dean Henderson.

BBC Radio Sheffield’s Rob Station has confirmed that the player will join Sheffield United on loan for the 2018/19 season.

Henderson was one of many goalkeepers to be linked with a move to Norwich, who need a new number one following Angus Gunn’s departure.

The goalkeeper, who spent last season on loan at Shrewsbury, had impressed in League One.

Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal were keeping tabs on the player when there was some uncertainty as to whether or not he would sign a new deal at Old Trafford.

United themselves were in the market for a new goalkeeper with Jamal Blackman returning to Chelsea.

Chris Wilder’s men have been linked with a permanent move for him, but it is yet to be seen how Henderson’s arrival will affect their interest.

Liverpool’s Danny Ward has also been linked with a move to Norwich and the Welshman could be the man the Canaries pursue as their new number one.
