Leeds, Newcastle and Norwich City are among a host of clubs interested in signing Bodo Glimt defender Fredrik Andre Bjorkan, according to reports published by TEAMtalk.

The 22-year-old has been a regular for Bodo Glimt over the past five years, making 83 appearances in all competitions for the Norwegian side.

This season, the left-back has made a total of 32 appearances for Bodo Glimt, who finished first in the Eliteserien table this term, and as a consequence he is now claimed to be attracting interest across Europe.

Celtic hare reported to have held talks with the left-back in the summer, but failed to wrap up a deal for the defender.

Leeds, Newcastle, Brighton, Bournemouth and Norwich have been credited with an interest, as the January transfer window looms.

Norwich have lacked depth at left-back this season, Jamal Lewis left Carrow Road for Newcastle in the summer, and Sam McCallum was allowed to join Coventry on loan.

Xavi Quintilla has endured a couple of frustrating injury issues along with young prospect Bali Mumba, meaning that Jacob Sorensen has had to fill in there.
