Birmingham Line Up Swoop For For Northern Ireland Playmaker – Report

|

We are interested in signing Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Oliver Norwood, according to journalist Tom Heslop on Twitter.

The Northern Ireland international spent last season out on loan at Fulham but has returned to the Seagulls this summer.

For the Cottagers, he made 41 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and providing three assists. He was, however, used more sparingly by Slavisa Jokanovic in the second half of the campaign.

With the player deemed surplus to requirements on the South Coast, we are believed to be prepared to offer £1.5m for the 27-year-old to bring him to St Andrew’s.

The club could do with a player of Norwood’s ilk. He can play in central midfielder but he is able to pick out a pass and score a few goals. His 53 caps for Northern Ireland means he also has a good deal of experience.

Do you think we should go after him? Let me know in the poll:
