Goalkeeper Forster spent a hugely successful spell at Carrow Road last season, and the Canaries look set to ask to take him back next term. And young striker Nile Ranger is also being linked with a possible move to Norfolk. "The decision has not 100 per cent been made," said Hughton. "With Fraser Forster last season, there was a train of thought that we would have been better off keeping him here because he's a quality, young goalkeeper. "Amongst what we have here, we also have to think about player development, and young players come into that one. "That's where we will be with Nile. We haven't categorically made a decision on whether we'll loan him out or not. "If we feel we're very strong in that position, and there are the right possibilities to loan him out, that's something we'll consider. "He could certainly stay here and play a part, as he did last season, but we also have to think about his development and whether he'll get the amount of football he needs. "He's still only 19 years of age. His development is important for us. You can improve players by giving them opportunities here or, at some stage of the season, allowing them to have the amount of football they need elsewhere."
