AndyJR 0 Posted June 1, 2008 Eastern Evening News17.1201 June 2008Hoolahan set to sign? Fresh speculation linking winger Wes Hoolahan with Norwich City suggests he may sign for the Canaries today.Rumours are that Hoolahan has even had a medical with City and will sign for £250,000 after a release clause in his contract was triggered.City manager Glenn Roeder is a known admirer of the Blackpool wide man, who made his international debut as an 89th minute substitute for the Republic of Ireland last Thursday in the 1-0 win over Colombia.And he will be brought in as a direct replacement for the departing Darren Huckerby, the fans'' favourite who was, surprisingly, not offered a new contract at the end of the season.Hoolahan, 26, impressed for the Tangerines last season as they retained their Championship status, scoring six goals and gaining admirers in the division. Norwich are believed to be fending off Championship rivals Charlton to secure the Dublin-born ace''s signature.http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/content/Sport/story.aspx?brand=ENOnline&category=Sport&tBrand=ENOnline&tCategory=Sport&itemid=NOED01%20Jun%202008%2017%3A10%3A57%3A750 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
