Teenage dream: Forbes enjoyed a fairytale debut for United. Image: SNS
Dundee United starlet Brandon Forbes has travelled to England to seal a deal with Championship outfit Norwich City.
It is understood United have accepted an offer which is guaranteed to be worth £300,000 for the gifted 18-year-old, who announced himself with a stunning strike against Ayr United last month.
That could rise to around £500,000 depending on his progress at Norwich, while the Tangerines will bank a sell-on percentage of 20% from any future transfer.

While reluctant to lose one of their brightest youngsters, the offer for Forbes – only on the books at United for a year – proved too good to turn down for Tannadice chiefs.
Barring any unforeseen issues, the talented winger will join Johannes Hoff Thorup‘s side before the transfer deadline closes on Friday.
