Crewe defender Jon Otsemobor is poised to join Norwich, according to the player's agent.

The 24-year-old former Liverpool player, who is out-of-contract this summer, has been a long-time target of Canaries boss Peter Grant.

The right-back's agent, Eric Walters, now claims a deal is all but done.

"Semmy has agreed to sign for Norwich," Walters told the Eastern Daily Press.

"As long as all goes well with his medical and when the time is right, Jon wants to join Norwich."

could finally be a right back which is good

currently we only have Jurgen Colin ..who is alright but doesnt know what to do with the ball when he goes past the halfway line

Andy Hughes who isn't even a right back filled in for most of the ending of the season ...which cant happen

so finally a right back ..lets hope he can prove to be worth a shot

Canaries confirm capture

Jon Otsemobor will join Norwich City on a free transfer on 1st July, Canaries boss Peter Grant has confirmed.

Skysports.com revealed last month that the former Crewe right-back had agreed a deal to move to Carrow Road after passing a medical.

Grant has now announced an accord has been reached on a three-year contract with Otsemobor and the deal will officially go through at the start of next month.

Norwich have won the race for the former Liverpool defender, who was thought to be attracting interest from a number of clubs.

Grant believes Otsemobor will turn out to be a valuable addition to his squad ahead of next season as he can play in a variety of different roles.

"I'm very pleased to get this one sorted as he is one that we have been watching for some time," he told First News.

"He is strong, athletic, quick and is a very good young defender.

"He still has a lot to learn of course but it's no surprise to me he was in the League One team of the year.

"He is versatile and as well as full-back can play centre-back or as part of a defensive three.

"I'm delighted to add a player of his quality to the squad."
