“I made the decision to join STVV with a strong determination,” Kagawa told the club’s website. “I want to contribute with my football and experience and help the team to achieve its goals. 
 
“I'm looking forward to playing in front of the fans and supporters. Thank you for your support.”

The 32-year-old’s move to the Canaries is subject to his successful completion of a medical.

Kagawa, who started his career with Cerezo, won back-to-back Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund in 2011 and 2012 before claiming an English Premier League title with Manchester United in 2013 after joining Sir Alex Ferguson’s side.
 
He was also part of the Japan squad that won the 2011 AFC Asian Cup, although he departed the competition ahead of the final due to injury.
 
The midfielder was named the AFC International Player of the Year in 2012 and has played 97 times for Japan, including at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
