Norwich are trying tempt Gary Hooper from Celtic with a £30,000-a-week deal to make him their top earner.

Hooper has turned down a new deal at Celtic and his contract is up at the end of next season

City boss Chris Hughton scouted striker Hooper recently as he scored against Motherwell.

Hughton is now hoping to persuade the striker to ditch Celtic despite the SPL outfit progressing in the Champions League.

Hooper fancies a crack at the English top-flight. Last January Southampton tempted him by offering £25,000-a-week in the Championship and double in the Prem. He has stayed at Celtic since where he has scored 62 goals in 106 games.

But Hughton is desperate for more firepower this month and has Swansea’s Danny Graham in his sights as a plan B.

Initial enquiries for Monaco’s Ibrahima Toure, who would need a work permit, have gone no further.

Grant Holt is the Canaries’ current top earner on over £20,000-a-week but has only scored four goals this term.
