Norwich boss Daniel Farke believes he has got the best goalkeeper in the Championship as he looks to lead the Canaries back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
Farke said: “It’s fantastic news for us to have a player of Tim’s quality and personality. He’s by far the best goalkeeper in this league and was impressive in the Premier League.
“He’s so important for the dressing room and development of our young players. I think he has a good chance to play as Netherlands number one in the next tournament.
“To have a player with his experience and quality is fantastic, because if you want to be a successful club, whatever league you play in, you always need a top-class goalkeeper.”
