Jose Cordoba has confirmed that news about his future will be public knowledge soon as his move to Norwich City edges closer. 

The defender is a key target for the Canaries to replace the departed Ben Gibson, with the move thought to be progressing close to completion. Reports on Friday in Bulgaria stated that a fee around £3million had been agreed with his current club Levski Sofia. 

Cordoba travelled to Norfolk last week and spoke with new head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup as City edged Rangers for his signature. 

The defender has now linked up with his international teammates at Panama ahead of the Copa America, and when quizzed over his future - expressed excitement about his new project. 

“You will soon have news, it is a good future for me, I will have a good project to continue growing as a player. 

"I am very happy about this, and things are going to go well," Cordoba told reporters before Panama's training on Tuesday. 

City are hoping to get a move for the 23-year-old finalised before the start of the Copa America, with Panama set to face Guyana in a World Cup qualifier on Friday. 

He will become their first summer signing and kickstart a summer of change under Thorup and new sporting director Ben Knapper. 

Norwich are looking to strengthen their defensive areas and have also been linked with out of contract Nordsjaelland left back Martin Frese but face competition with other European clubs for his signature. 

Rangers were hopeful of signing Cordoba, but appeared to pull out of the race last week - leaving City with a clear run at signing the defender.

Levski executive Daniel Borimirov confirmed that the club was in talks with a 'foreign club' over Cordoba's exit, with Norwich pushing hard to get the deal over the line. 

"When the moment comes, you and the blue community will understand what is happening with Cordoba", Borimirov told reporters at the unveiling of new head coach Stanislav Genchev. 

"We are holding such talks. Everything depends on the price. If a football player is sold in a given position, we will look for a new player in that position."
