Johnson is out of contract at Elland Road and will join with the newly-promoted club on a free transfer this week. The 24-year-old made 45 Championship appearances for the Whites last season as their play-off push fell just short. Johnson is expected a sign a three-year contract for Paul Lambert's side. The former Northampton and Brighton man will be another cog in the Norwich evolution following the capture of James Vaughan and with Millwall's Steve Morison due to join. Johnson was linked with a number of other Premier League clubs but it would appear they have either failed to firm up their reported interest, or been unable to offer him the assurances over playing time that Norwich can.
