Steven Naismith: Everton forward set to join Norwich City for £8m

Everton forward Steven Naismith is set to join Premier League rivals Norwich in an £8m deal next month.

The 29-year-old Scotland international has started only four league matches this season, but scored a hat-trick after coming on as a substitute against Chelsea in September.

He played 25 minutes as a substitute in the 4-3 defeat by Stoke on Monday.

In August Everton rejected a £7m bid from Norwich for Naismith, who joined the Toffees from Rangers in 2012.

He has made 103 Premier League appearances for Everton, scoring 18 goals.

Newly-promoted Norwich are three points clear of the relegation zone, with Everton six points ahead of the Canaries in 11th.
