Norwich City sign Pedro Lima on loan from Palmeiras

Norwich City have completed the signing of Brazilian midfielder Pedro Lima on loan from Palmeiras.

The 20-year-old makes the move to Carrow Road for the 2023/24 season, where he will initially link up with the club’s Under-21 side.

Lima made his senior debut for Palmeiras in the Copa Libertadores, featuring against Club Bolívar.

Internationally, the midfielder has been involved with the Brazil Under-20s squad on a number of occasions, featuring in two international friendlies at the age grade.

Upon joining the club, Lima said: “I’m very excited, it’s an amazing club. I’m very happy to be joining, and wearing these colours is very special to me.

“I saw that (Gabriel) Sara has been amazing here, it’s a club that uses a lot of young players so for me that’s a big point.

“It’s my first experience in football out of Brazil. Football in England is famous for being one of the best in the world, it’s going to be a great experience and I hope I can do well here.”

The loan is subject to international clearance and approval from the regulatory governing bodies.
