Steven Naismith is hoping to move clubs this month

Norwich's hopes of signing Everton striker Steven Naismith have suffered a setback, Sky Sports News HQ understands.

Sources claim the transfer is in doubt after talks between the parties stalled, but insist the deal is not yet dead.

Toffees boss Roberto Martinez said earlier on Tuesday that Naismith is ready to leave the club in the winter transfer window, while Aiden McGeady and Darron Gibson could depart on loan.

Sky sources reported in December that Norwich were set to revive their interest in Naismith after trying to sign him in the summer.

The Canaries had a £7m bid for the 29-year-old Scotland international turned down and Sky sources understands they remain one of a number of clubs interested in signing Naismith this month.

Naismith signed for Everton from Rangers in 2012 but he has struggled to nail down a regular starting place this term, making just four starts in the Premier League and six appearances off the bench, scoring four league goals.
