Gillingham are closing in on the signing of Brentford striker Luke Norris.

The 21-year-old scored once in three games for the Bees last season and also enjoyed successful loan spells at Northampton Town and Dagenham & Redbridge.

Norris was among several development squad players who were offered a new deal at Griffin Park, but has yet to put pen to paper and is now a free agent.

Stevenage, Dagenham and Northampton were among a string of clubs who have shown an interest in signing the Hertfordshire-based hitman.

However, Gillingham look set to win the race for his signature. Brentford would be entitled to compensation should Norris decide to move elsewhere.
