Norwich sign Villa's Chrisene in four-year deal

Norwich City have signed Aston Villa defender Ben Chrisene on a four-year contract, with an option for an extra 12 months.

Villa bought Chrisene from Exeter City but his only first-team appearance came in a 4-1 FA Cup defeat by Liverpool in January 2021.

The 20-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan with Blackburn Rovers, playing 16 games in the Championship, seven of them starts.

"Ben is an exciting young player with lots of potential and further room for development," said Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper.

Chrisene is Norwich's second signing of the summer, following Jose Cordoba, but no details of any fee have been disclosed.
