He has represented Belgium at Under 18, Under 19 and Under 20 level. He has joined the Sky Blues for, officially, an undisclosed fee although it is reported that the club will pay of fee of between €2.5 million (£2.1m) and €3.5 million (£2.98m) with Caen also including a sell-on clause.

Responding to the signing, Coventry City head coach Mark Robins said: “We are delighted to welcome Norman to the Club.
