Former Notts County young defender Lucian Mahovo, could feature in the Championship with Norwich City first team as soon as was expected after<\/strong> joining the club on a two year deal plus option to renew on Monday 8th July. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 19-year-old who made a surprise leap from Sky Bet League Two to Championship football, has been long targeted to reinforce the Canaries  left-back position which has been left frigile after the departure of Dimi Giannoulis and Sam McCallum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

City has made it a top transfer priority this summer to hire a left-back and they have been strongly linked to Danish defender Martin Frese but has reported interest from Legia Warsaw, Parma and clubs in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There also has been speculation in the Brazilian media of a loan enquiry for Palmeiras\u2019 Vanderlan to fill up the vacant position but have come to settle for Mahovo whom they believe has a profile that could go on to lead the club\u2019s defensive ranks for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The talented left-back who can also play elsewhere across the defensive line or as a defensive midfielder, made two first-team appearances for Notts County, featuring in League Two and the EFL Trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has had previous loan spells at non-league sides Boston United and Long Eaton, and spent time at Sheffield United’s youth set-up  before moving to Notts County. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upon signing for the Canaries, Mahovo spoke to the club’s official channels: “It’s a great club, with brilliant facilities. I’m excited to get ready and get going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I love to get on the ball as much as I can and influence the game. I’ve learnt a lot of valuable lessons when going out on loan (playing senior football) and I’m ready to apply them here.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The youngster who has a Zimbabwean heritage having born to an English mother and a Zimbabwean father, \u00a0will initially link up with the Canaries’ under-21 side, having spent the back end of last season on loan in the sixth tier with Boston United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now Norwich City manager Johannes Hoff Thorup is expected to run the rule over his current roster in pre-season, with development squad attacking left back Guilherme Mont\u00f3ia set for game time in the upcoming friendlies before the opening of the Championship league season. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
