Norwich City will look to reinvest the cash they received from the sale of Lewis Grabban to fellow Premier League relegation strugglers Bournemouth, although it remains to be seen whether that means Steven Naismith will arrive from Everton.
Bournemouth finally landed Grabban this week for £8m after three unsuccessful attempts last year.
“Sometimes players have their heads turned and get their heart set on going elsewhere,” the Norwich manager, Alex Neil, said. “In Lewis’s situation? There was too much water under the bridge and it just made sense that because we were not utilising his talents we had a commodity there that wasn’t supplying anything for us.
“So what we had to do was try and get the best value for that and reinvest it and bring someone in who can contribute.”
Everton accepted a bid of £8m from Norwich for Naismith last month but the Scotland international has yet to decide on his future, with Roberto Martínez revealing on Tuesday that another unnamed Premier League club are also interested in signing him.
