The Derby County man has been linked with moves to Leeds United and Cardiff City, but the bookies think Norwich City are in the running too.

Popular bookmakers BETVICTOR have installed the Canaries as joint second favourites in the race to sign Rams hitman Chris Martin, alongside the likes of Cardiff City and Leeds United.

The 29-year-old striker began his career at Carrow Road before moving to Derby in 2013, and his career seems to have stagnated ever since.

He has made only five starts for the east Midlands outfit this season, along with 18 substitute appearances, and has scored just one goal.

Norwich are certainly in need of more firepower in forward areas, what with their tally of just 27 Championship goals scored being the fourth lowest in the division.

Whether the Scotland international is the man for the job though, is debatable to say the least.

BETVICTOR list Reading as the 3/1 favourites to sign Martin, ahead of the Canaries at 4/1, which is somewhat of a surprise, given the lack of any rumours linking him with a move back to Norfolk.

With the January transfer window now well and truly open for business, this will certainly be one for Norwich fans to keep a close eye on.
