Norwich City are interested in signing Middlesbrough striker Jordan Rhodes, according to the PinkUn.

The report says that Rhodes has fallen out of favour at Middlesbrough, having not featured for Boro in the Premier League so far this season.

Norwich are said to be keen on Rhodes, as they desperately look to sign a striker before the transfer deadline in nine days time.

Alex Neil has been on the hunt for a striker all summer, having missed out on numerous targets to Championship sides already. Dwight Gayle, Steven Fletcher and Ross McCormack joined Newcastle, Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa respectively after interest from Norwich.

Rhodes scored five goals in his last eight games for Boro last season in the Championship, helping them to finish 2nd and gain promotion to the top-flight.

He hit over 20 Championship goals for three seasons running for Blackburn, showing his goalscoring pedigree at this level.
