The 31-year-old’s imminent arrival will surely spell the end for Chris Martin, who is already said to be interesting several Championship sides including Leeds United, Reading and Sunderland.

But having been born in nearby Beccles, and began his career at Carrow Road, a return to Norwich could appeal to Martin – who has scored 64 goals in 188 games for Derby – if offered.
