Norwich City midfielder Gabriel Sara is being tracked by European giants Atletico Madrid as well as RB Leipzig and West Ham United, according to reports.

Sara has impressed for the Canaries in recent weeks, scoring his fifth goal of the season with a sensational volley as they beat Millwall 3-2 last weekend.

He was signed from Sao Paulo for an initial £6million fee just last summer, but is a potential target for all three clubs, claim the Sunday Mirror.

The report states that West Ham are looking for midfield reinforcements as they prepare for life without Declan Rice, while the La Liga club have been monitoring the Brazilian's performances.

RB Leipzig have reportedly done the same, while Italian Serie A club Torino are understood to have watched Sara in City's 2-1 loss to Watford in October.

The 23-year-old had a slow start to the season, beginning his time at Carrow Road with recovery from an ankle injury under Dean Smith. Adaptation to English football and a new role has helped him thrive since David Wagner's appointment as head coach, however.

He praised the German's impact after last month's 3-1 win over Hull, saying: "He is an amazing coach. He works with such intensity and is a great guy. We are finding our way to play to win games.

"He's quite similar to coaches I have worked under in Brazil in his intensity and how he likes to press, wants us to play football and enjoy it. He wants us to put on a show for our fans so that they can enjoy the games. 

"He's given me a lot of confidence and is teaching me how to play another position, I'm really enjoying that.

"It's like a mix between (playing as a) 'number six' and 'number eight'. It's quite complicated to explain but I am enjoying it. I love football and how I'm playing. It teaches me to fight for the ball. I have to fight like a number six and play like a number eight. I'm getting used to it."
