Norwich City are set to pay a loan fee of €3m for Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann, according to reports.
The 30-year-old shot-stopper is expected to be officially announced on Friday, with the German penning a loan deal, while the Bundesliga outfit will pocket €3million in loan fees.

Norwich will also take on 100 percent of Fahrmann’s contracted wages, with Schalke not keen on paying a single penny while the German is at Carrow Road.
Fahrmann would further strengthen Daniel Farke’s squad ahead of their return to the Premier League, with the former Germany youth international set to challenge Tim Krul for a starting spot, while also pushing Michael McGovern further down the pecking order.
Krul started every Championship game for the Canaries last season, and will expect to keep his spot in the top flight, having played over 100 Premier League games for Newcastle.
