Norwich City have emerged as leading contenders to sign the Aston Villa man.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have slashed the odds on the Canaries signing Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack, installing them as the new 3/1 favourites in the race to sign the Scotland international.
Would this Middlesbrough star be a better alternative to McCormack?
The 30-year-old’s days at Villa Park seem to be numbered after Steve Bruce publicly criticised him for a lack of commitment with regards to his lackadaisical attitude towards training.
Aston Villa’s Ross McCormack
He moved to the Midlands outfit from Fulham in the summer, for a fee believed to be in the region of £12 million, but has failed to establish himself as a key member of the Villa side, scoring just three goals in 20 Championship appearances so far this term.
And SkyBET have slashed the odds on Norwich winning the race for his signature, cutting them into 3/1 from outside of 20/1.
Aston Villa’s Ross McCormack in action
McCormack’s former club Fulham are listed at 9/2 to sign him, whilst Derby County are second favourites at 4/1.
Nigel Spink offers his verdict on Aston Villa’s transfer business thus far
Alex Neil’s men currently sit just two points adrift of the play-off spots, after recording back-to-back victories in the Championship, and the acquisition of McCormack could be just the tonic to help them force their way inside the top six.
