According to the Daily Mail, Sheffield Wednesday are interested in hijacking Rangers’ move to sign Norwich City midfielder Graham Dorrans.

The Owls will be in the market for new signings this summer having lost to Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-offs, their second failed play-off campaign in a row.

Manager Carlos Carvalhal splashed the cash over the last year with moves for the likes of Almen Abdi and Adam Reach, and more cash should be made available by owner Dejphon Chansiri.

Now, the Daily Mail report that Wednesday are interested in signing Norwich midfielder Graham Dorrans, and could rival Rangers for his signature this summer.

The 30-year-old midfielder only played half of Norwich’s Championship games this past season, but did find the net six times in what could prove to be his final season for the Canaries.

Rangers would be Dorrans’ dream move given that he grew up supporting the Ibrox club, and Pedro Caixinha’s men have allegedly submitted a £1million bid to lure the Scotland international to Glasgow.

However, Norwich are believed to want £1.5million for the midfielder, and Wednesday could now swoop in to lure the former West Brom man ahead of Rangers.

That leaves the Gers pondering their next move, with a swift bid closer to £1.5million needed to get the deal done anyway, but the situation is even more pressing now Wednesday are entering the race.
