Norwich City fans will be over the moon to hear that manager Daniel Farke is in advanced talks over a new deal to remain at the club.

The Telegraph is reporting that the German is negotiating with the leaders of the Championship over a new two-and-a-half-year contract.

The 42-year-old’s current terms expire in June, but the Canaries and Farke are said to be close to putting pen-to-paper on a new deal after guiding the club to the top of the table.

Norwich are on course to win promotion back to the Premier League, sitting two points clear of Leeds United in second place.

Along with the news of Farke’s imminent extension, the Canaries are also close to tying down his assistant, Edmund Reimer, to a new deal, too.

Norwich have been in talks with the advisors of the manager since the end of last year, according to the Telegraph, with a positive outcome expected in the coming days.

The verdict

This could be the best signing Norwich have made all season.

Farke has masterminded their ascent up the league, and getting him tied up to a new deal is of utter importance.

With news that terms are close to being agreed, it’s an immeasurable boost for the club heading into the home straight of the current campaign.

Signing a new deal could be toasted with a return to the Premier League.

It seems like a good time to be a Norwich City supporter.
