The youngster made his excitement known about the move to the side.
“It’s a proud feeling. It’s super exciting to join Norwich City. The facilities here are really impressive. From the minute I arrived here, it’s given me a lot of excitement. Being a young player, it’s nice to hear that the head coach gives us a chance. It was a big factor in me moving here. I’m a striker that loves scoring goals. I love being part of a good team that plays good football.” Soto told Norwich’s official website.
