Jovon Makama, a striker from Lincoln City, has been signed for £1.2 million by Norwich City.
The 21-year-old is signing for the Championship club on a three-year contract with a two-year option.
League One Lincoln’s fee is club record, surpassing the £750, 000 they reportedly received from Bolton Wanderers for Scottish midfielder Ethan Erhahon last month.
Following the departures of forwards Borja Sainz and Jonathan Rowe to Porto and Marseille, respectively, Makama’s arrival is a part of new Norwich head coach Liam Manning’s rebuild at Carrow Road.
Makama has 15 goals in 97 appearances for the Imps, but as negotiations progressed, he was left out of the team for the 2-0 opening-game home win over Reading last Saturday.
Makama, who was born in Nottingham, was a former Derby County youth player before joining Lincoln in 2020, and he has also had loan deals with Brackley Town and Gainsborough Trinity on loan.
