Norwich close in on Australian midfielder Troisi on a season-long loan

Norwich manager Chris Hughton is closing in on a season-long loan deal for Atalanta midfielder James Troisi.

Hughton is keen to seal a move for the Australian international, 25, after losing winger Elliott Bennett for the rest of the year following knee-ligament surgery.



Troisi was once a youngster at Newcastle but never appeared in the first team for the club.
