Andrew Cole in Norwich

Last updated : 23 June 2008 By Rick Lamb
The Eastern Daily Press are reporting that former Newcastle and Manchester United legend Andrew Cole has been in Norwich, further fuelling a rumour that the striker could sign for the Canaries.

Cole, 36, spoke to a local resident while waiting for a flight out of Norwich airport. He said he had been visiting a friend, but did not appear to have any luggage with him.

The ex-England ace has been released by Sunderland and looks unlikely to return to Burnley, where he ended last season on loan. Leeds have been reported to have offered him a two-year contract, but the striker has close links with Norwich coach Lee Clark in particular.
