Norwich City have confirmed that they are in talks with Charlton Athletic over the transfer of England goalkeeper Robert Green to The Valley.

Green has been linked with a number of Premiership sides this summer, with the Addicks now in pole position to seal a deal.

City chief executive Neil Doncaster told the club's official website: "We are talking over a possible transfer of Robert Green to Charlton.

"Those talks are still at an early stage and no deal has yet been agreed."

Green has made nearly 250 first-team appearances for the Canaries and only injury prevented him from being part of England's World Cup finals squad this summer.

The 26-year-old is still recovering from a groin injury sustained in the warm-up game against Belarus.
