Striker in training

Putting the cart a little before the horse, Czech hitman David Strihavka has begun training with his prospective new teammates at Norwich prior to being unveiled as a Canary.

The 24-year-old forward, the top scorer in the Czech top flight last term, is expected to sign a four-year deal this week. He scored 13 goals in 28 games for Banik Ostrava last term.

City boss Peter Grant spoke of his long-term interest in the big striker, but revealed that he had expected him to sign for a Premiership club following a trial at Watford in which he scored twice in his only game.
