A deal that will see 18-year-old Gambian striker Omar Alieu Koroma playing for the English Championship side Norwich City on a season-long loan from Portsmouth has been completed, Observer Sports has reliably gathered.

The teenager recently signed a two-year deal for Premier League side Portsmouth from the Banjul Hawks FC after impressing manager Harry Redknapp during a recent trial.
Portsmouth would like Koroma to gain first team experience with Norwich City. 

Norwich City boss Glenn Roeder revealed: "Koroma looks exciting and full of enthusiasm, but I don't want to put too much pressure on him."

Redknapp believes that Koroma has a big future at Fratton Park.
"I have been very impressed with him and I am pleased that we have got him here," Redknapp told Portsmouth's website.

"I like him very much. He is a good kid and he has got the potential to become a very good player.

"He was recommended to me and we got him here straight away because there is a big gulf at the club between senior players and young kids.  "We've got nothing in between really but he can bridge that gap."
