The 22-year-old started his career at Norwich, and was promoted to the Under-23s in 2015.
He was sent out on a six-month loan deal to Dutch side Fortuna Sittard in 2018, where he made 10 appearances for the club.
After returning to Norwich, he was immediately added to the first-team squad, and was a key part of Daniel Farke's side that won promotion from the Championship last season.
But, Cantwell has flourished in the Premier League, and has featured in all of Norwich's matches.

“I’m surprised about the rumours linking Todd Cantwell with Liverpool,” McManaman told HorseRacing.net.
“It’s something which could certainly happen in the future, but I don’t think he’s done enough just yet to warrant playing at that kind of level.
“I get the fact that he wants to play at a higher level and is performing well in a struggling Norwich City team, that’s completely understandable - but it would surprise me if Liverpool were very interested in him.
“Liverpool do a lot of their transfer business discreetly. A lot of the other players were bought when we didn’t know it was happening, such as the likes of Alisson Becker and Fabinho, while Virgil Van Dijk was very much the exception."
