The Senegal international has returned to his Turkish parent club Trabzonspor after spending the second half of last season on loan at Sunderland, scoring once in 11 Premier League appearances.

N’Doye had joined Hull City from Lokomotiv Moscow in a deal reportedly worth £3million in February 2015 but five goals in 15 games wasn’t enough to stop the Tigers from slipping to top-flight relegation.

A £2.2m move to Trabzonspor followed last summer and the 31-year-old was thought to be close to joining Sunderland on a permanent deal, before manager Sam Allardyce was appointed as the new England boss.

HITC Sport is now reporting that N’Doye is keen to return to England and is willing to play in the Championship, claiming that the Canaries are keen to push through a deal, with top target Ross McCormack now expected to join Aston Villa in a deal worth £12m.

The website reports that Norwich are hopeful of negotiating an initial loan deal for the powerful striker.

The Canaries currently only have Cameron Jerome, Steven Naismith and Kyle Lafferty as experienced forward options, with youngster Carlton Morris as cover.
