Norwich City confirmed on their club website on Monday afternoon that centre-back Timm Klose has put pen to paper on a new three-year deal with the club.
Timm Klose has signed a new three-year deal with newly promoted Norwich City, keeping him at Carrow Road until the summer of 2022. The centre-back’s contract was set to run out at the end of the 2018/19 season, with clubs from abroad reportedly taking an interest.
It was reported in April that Turkish Super Lig outfit Fenerbahce were considering a move for Klose, with his contract set to run out at the end of the season. But, Klose’s new long-term deal at Carrow Road has put any rumours of a departure to bed.
The defender first joined Norwich in 2016 and he is looking forward to continuing his enjoyable stint at Carrow Road in the Premier League after Daniel Farke’s side won promotion to the top flight as champions.
“I’m delighted we are playing in the Premier League next year and that was one of the reasons why I’ve chosen to stay in Norwich,” Klose said to the club’s website upon the announcement.
“I love it here and I really feel at home. It’s the first time in my career I can say that, that I feel at home somewhere else other than back in Switzerland. That was another reason why I wanted to stay. It’s fantastic that the Club has given me this opportunity to sign the new contract and stay for another three years.
“I know that I’m one of the oldest now and I want to be a good leader on and off the pitch to help develop the younger lads as well as win games.”
Swiss international defender Klose has played 118 games for Norwich City since joining the club from German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg three years ago, and he is looking forward to adding to that total in the Premier League.
