Norwich are considering making an approach to Schalke for goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann.

The Canaries are understood to be searching for a goalkeeper to provide competition for Tim Krul, after the Dutchman signed a new long term deal at Carrow Road following their promotion to the Premier League.

Fahrmann, 30, made 25 appearances last season for the Bundesliga club and has previously represented Germany from U16 level through to the U21s.

He is under contract at the Veltins Arena until June 2022.

Fahrmann has been at the top tier German club since U17 level, barring a two-year spell at Eintracht Frankfurt between 2009 and 2011.

He would be Daniel Farke's fourth signing of the summer, if he joins Norwich.

Switzerland international striker Josip Drmic has joined the club on a free transfer from Borussia Monchengladbach, while Manchester City forward Patrick Roberts has also arrived at the newly promoted side on a season-long loan.
