Norwich are ready to buy Leeds striker Luciano Becchio after failing to land Celtic’s Gary Hooper.

They turned to the unsettled Argentinian on Tuesday and will sign him in a £3.5million deal - with Steve Morison going the other way.

Norwich are also battling Premier League rivals Reading for Birmingham defender Curtis Davies.

Royals boss Brian McDermott is hoping to exploit Blues' financial woes with a knock-down £1m deal, while Norwich chief Chris Hughton - who managed Davies at St Andrew's - is poised to return with a cash bid after failing with a loan move.

Brum are also likely to sell Chris Burke to Nottingham Forest, striker Marlon King is up for grabs on a free and all their players are available for sale.
