Norwich leading the race to sign Spurs youngster Maxwell Statham

Norwich are reportedly at the front of the queue to sign Tottenham youngster Maxwell Statham.

According to the Mirror, the Canaries are one of several Championship sides looking to sign Statham.

Sunderland, Brentford and Nottingham Forest have also been credited with an interest in the young defender.

The 18-year-old is yet to put to pen to paper on a professional contract with the Premier League side and his current deal expires at the end of the season.

Statham has been training with the first-team at Spurs, a sign of how highly he is rated.

Amid growing fears about the lack of regular game time at a first-team level, Premier League youngsters are becoming increasingly willing to move away from the bigger clubs to pursue minutes elsewhere.

Statham, who could be available at little to no cost with his contract expiring at Tottenham, could be a potential bargain for Norwich and the other aforementioned Championship clubs.
