Grant confirms interest in Hatter

Last updated : 06 January 2007 By Rick Lamb
Peter Grant has made his first permanent signing as Norwich boss and is eyeing several more, with Luton's Rowan Vine strongly linked.

Vine was the subject of a bid from Cardiff City, believed to be in the region of £650,000, this week, which Mike Newell turned down. It is thought the former Portsmouth man is valued by the Luton boss at around £1million.

The Hatters are not in a position of having to sell, however, as they have already seen Carlos Edwards leave Kenilworth Road for Sunderland's Stadium of Light in a £1.4million deal.

Grant publicly admitted his interest in Vine, having known of him since the pair were in close proximity on the south coast in the Norwich boss' Bournemouth days.
