The permanent return of German midfielder Moritz Leitner has been met with huge approval by Norwich City fans this evening.


















The Canaries have confirmed the 25-year-old's return for an undisclosed fee, with the former Germany Under-21 international committing to a four-year contract.

Leitner made 12 appearances while on loan from Bundesliga side Augsburg during the second half of last season and did enough to persuade head coach Daniel Farke to want him to return.
