Report: Hannover in advanced talks for Klose

Timm Klose is reportedly nearing a move back to Germany.
Hannover 96 are working on the signing of Norwich centre-back Timm Klose. According to Kicker, the negotiations between the two sides are 'well advanced'.

'Die Roten' have been looking for a new central defender since Timo Hübers sustained a Cruciate Ligament Rupture that is expected to keep him out until February at least.

Klose, 30, who has played for Nürnberg and Wolfsburg in the past, is under contract at Norwich until 2019. So far, the Swiss defender has started all three of Norwich's Championship games this season.

Hannover 96 have also been linked with Hoffenheim's Ermin Bicakcic, Sunderland's Papy Djilobodji and Southampton's Jan Bednarek.
