Norwich and Aston Villa are set to get together to thrash out the future of unsettled Republic of Ireland midfielder Wes Hoolahan.

The two teams meet over a transfer tribunal table next week to decide a compensation fee for England Under-19 goalkeeper Jed Steer.

Steer, No.2 to Brad Guzan at Villa, left the Canaries last summer as a free agent, but they are demanding compensation as the 21-year-old spent more than 10 years at Carrow Road.

And the sides will use the tribunal get-together to try to hammer out a deal for Hoolahan - one of Villa manager Paul Lambert's top targets in the January transfer window.

The 31-year-old, who played his best football under former Canaries boss Lambert, is desperate for a regular first team starting spot. But Norwich are demanding at least £2 million for the playmaker, and the Villans have reportedly offered barely half that amount.

Lambert's Norwich successor, Chris Hughton, said: "Wes has played in our last two Premier League games and at the moment he is an important part of our squad.

"Players are always being linked with other teams but Wes is under contract here and his responsibility is to this club."
