# Norwich sporting director rubbishes links with Mignolet

Norwich City sporting director Stuart Webber has laughed off speculation linking his side with a £15m swoop for Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.

Webber has rubbished the claims that Norwich are interested in signing Mignolet, especially for £15m.

The Canaries are set to play in the Premier League next season after securing promotion from the Championship – winning the title earlier this month.

Watford, Bournemouth and Norwich have all been[touted](https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/05/20/do-report-norwich-and-watford-want-liverpool-goalkeeper-simon-mi/) with interest in Mignolet, but the newly-promoted side can now be ruled out as contenders for his signature.

[Speaking to The Pink’Un,](https://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/canaries-stuart-webber-transfer-strategy-1-6080372) Webber said this:

> Simon Mignolet. I have to say that made me laugh. Nothing against him, he is a top keeper, but just the figures.

> That would be the most crazy one I can think of. When I see us linked to keepers for £15m I just smile. Who comes up with this? Why would we do that? It is not right.

The Belgian shot-stopper failed to play a single minute in the Premier League this season as he played second fiddle to Alisson – who was awarded the Golden Glove for keeping 21 clean sheets.
