Norwich City are on the verge of completing a deal to sign Sevilla midfielder Ibrahim Amadou on loan.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Amadou will move to Carrow Road on a season-long loan, with a €10m option to sign him permanently at the end of the campaign.
Following this news, some Norwich fans have taken to Twitter to voice their opinions on the potential signing.
Nick Deal says that it makes a lot of sense, with all things considered.
Twitter: The Amadou talk is a loan, paying full wages, and a mandatory €10m fee if we stay up this season.
This makes a lo… https://t.co/9YW9j1LOCl (@nick__deal)
The Mighty Fritz seems concerned that Norwich fans are going to adapt an ABBA song for the midfielder!
Twitter: Why do I get the feeling that Amadou is going to end up with his own song based on ABBA’s Waterloo? ??? #ncfc (@TheMightyFritz)
DJ JLP appears to be buzzing with the news!

James Flett has decided to praise Stuart Webber for his excellent work this summer.
Twitter: Amadou & Rhodes on a free. Webber doesn’t let us down does he? Trust the people running the show Canaries I most certainly do #ncfc (@flett275)
One user claims that he is exactly what Norwich need!
Twitter: Ibrahim Amadou looks like a UNIT. Chuffed with that one, EXACTLY what we need! #bosh #stayingup #ncfc (@FarkesOnAHorse)
READ NORWICH VERDICT
Amadou would arrive in Norwich with a good reputation, despite his time in Spain, after impressing at Lille in France.
He was made captain of Lille by Marcelo Bielsa during a three-year spell with the Ligue outfit, which suggests that he is a leader on the pitch.
Norwich are likely to be in a relegation fight next season, following their promotion to the Premier League, which means that they are going to need strong leaders in the side.
Amadou’s defensive stability in the heart of the midfield could also allow the likes of Emi Buendia, Patrick Roberts and Onel Hernandez to express themselves going forward – giving Norwich the best chance of survival.
