Defender set for medical

Last updated : 07 January 2008 By Rick Lamb
The transfer to Norwich of CSKA Sofia's Bulgarian international defender Valentin Iliev is reportedly close to being completed.

Iliev, 28, is said in the Bulgarian press to be due to undergo a medical on Tuesday morning with a view to completing a £750,000 move.

The capture of the five cap centre-back is to be believed when seen, however, as he pulled out of a move to Watford a year ago with everything agreed. He is now quoted as saying that he is ready to move on, however, and would fit the bill to provide competition in Norwich's sparsest area.
