Norwich complete deadline day signing of Coventry starlet

Norwich City have signed the “very interesting talent” of left-back Sam McCallum from Sky Bet League One Coventry City for an undisclosed fee.

Although McCallum has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with the Canaries, the 19-year-old has immediately been loaned back to the Sky Blues where he will remain until the end of the season.

A product of Jamie Vardy’s V9 Academy, McCallum has been a shining light of Coventry’s push for promotion this season, scoring three goals in 27 appearances.

Speaking to the Norwich website, McCallum said: “The last 24 hours have been hectic to say the least but quite overwhelming as well. Everyone has welcomed me with open arms, so it’s been good.
