McLean takes flight with Canaries
NORWICH have signed midfielder Kenny McLean from Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee.
McLean, 26, has put pen to paper on a three-and-a-half year contract and will head straight back to Aberdeen on loan until the end of the season.
“Recently I saw a bit of Norwich, and it excites me to come and play here,” McLean told Norwich City TV.
“The way the manager wants to play really does suit me, and I’m just looking forward to getting started. It has the right feel about it.
“I’ve always had ambitions of coming down to play in England and the Championship is an excellent league. I’ve been in Scotland my whole career and wanted something different.
“I let the manager at Aberdeen know that early on and then it’s just been about choosing the right place for me. This is perfect.
“There’s been a lot of talk about my future and taking everything into account, this felt like the right club.”
McLean says speaking to boss Daniel Farke was a telling factor in making the decision to pen terms with the Canaries.
“The manager’s philosophy suits me,” the 26-year-old added.
“The way he put the club across to me was excellent, and everything sounded perfect. He seems like someone everyone wants to work for.
“I’ll need to adapt to the way he wants to play, and that takes time.
