And it's understood the Scotland Under-21 playmaker, who scored 15 goals for his boyhood club last season, is now travelling south to open discussions with Canaries boss Daniel Farke over a move to Carrow Road.

The Hoops pulled out of the running to sign the 19-year-old midfield ace after issuing a take-it-or-leave ultimatum last week.

However, Norwich have stepped forward to offer an up-front bid of £3million, with further payments to come if additional clauses are triggered - including a sell-on fee.

If Turnbull does agree to join Farke's side, the Scottish Football Writer's Association's Young Player of the Year could find himself lining up alongside Scotland internationals Kenny McLean and Grant Hanley as well as former Celtic forwards Patrick Roberts and Teemu Pukki.
