NORWICH star Todd Cantwell produced an outrageous bicycle kick assist during his team's 5-0 victory against Gillingham.

Picking up the ball just outside of the box, Cantwell manoeuvred away from the defence and played a neat pass out wide.

The talented midfielder then glided his way into the area and received a low cross, fizzed into him at pace.

Cantwell did well to control the ball, juggling it a couple of times before producing an audacious bicycle kick.

The former England youth international's cross landed perfectly in he middle of the six-yard area, giving striker Adam Idah a tap-in.

Norwich fans have been loving Cantwell's effort on social media, with one tweeting: "What a player... pure class."

While another wrote: "Looks hungry to take on the mantle of main creator this season."

And rival fans were also loving Cantwell's genius, with one tweeting: "Wouldn't mind Arsenal going for Todd Cantwell."

Norwich supporters will be hoping recent speculation regarding Cantwell's future comes to nothing.

Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing the £40million-rated player as a replacement for Manchester City bound Jack Grealish.
