Southampton will pay an initial £10m upfront with a further £3.5m in appearance and performance based add-ons.
Gunn, 22, is the son of legendary former Norwich City stopper Bryan.
And he followed in his father’s footsteps by impressing for the Canaries during a season-long loan stint last season.
Gunn played all 46 Championship matches for Norwich and now wants to continue playing first-team football.

He has been tipped as a future England international but has found his opportunities restricted at the Etihad due to the outstanding success of Ederson.
Southampton have been linked with him for months and his arrival is likely to lead to the exit of either Fraser Forster of Alex McCarthy.
The duo shared goalkeeping duties last season, with the latter finishing the campaign as first-choice.
Forster’s last start was the 5-2 Premier League defeat to Tottenham on Boxing Day.
