Sources: Portsmouth in advanced talks to sign Will Norris
Portsmouth are in advanced talks to sign Burnley goalkeeper Will Norris on a free transfer, sources have told Football Insider.
Norris, 29, is leaving Burnley later this month when his contract at Turf Moor expires and a number of clubs have shown an interest in signing the goalkeeper on a free transfer.
Portsmouth have moved quickly to try and set up a deal for Norris as they look to bolster their goalkeeping options ahead of next season.
Former Wolves keeper Norris made just three first-team appearances during his time at Turf Moor and spent the second half of last season out on loan at Peterborough.
Norris spent three years with Wolves and spent the last year on loan at Ipswich Town before making the permanent move to Burnley.
During his time at Molineux, the keeper made eight first team appearances and kept six clean sheets in those outings.
The shot-stopper made 24 appearances during his loan spell at Peterborough this season and kept 11 clean sheets across those matches.
Burnley will be looking to strengthen this summer as Vincent Kompany takes his first crack at the Premier League as a manager, with Norris one of the names heading out the door.
Portsmouth finished the 2022-23 campaign eighth in League One and six points behind seventh placed Derby County.
Goalkeeper Matt Macey has returned to Luton Town following a loan spell at Pompey for the second half of the season and the club are looking for reinforcements despite the arrival of Joshua Oluwayemi from Tottenham last summer.
