The Strasbourg forward is a reported transfer target for Norwich City.

According to a report from the Sun, Premier League new boys Norwich City are lining up a £5 million bid for Strasbourg striker Nuno Da Costa.

The Canaries were quite simply brilliant in the Championship last season, but Daniel Farke will undoubtedly have to strengthen his ranks at Carrow Road this summer, if he is to guide his side to a successful Premier League campaign next term.

Teemu Pukki was excellent for Norwich last season, but Farke will be very keen to provide more competition for the Finland international.

And the Sun claims that the East Anglian outfit plan to raid Ligue 1 for a forward.

The British tabloid suggests that Norwich are prepared to pay £5 million in order to secure the services of Nuno Da Costa.

Good signing for the Canaries?

The 28-year-old is a centre-forward by trade, but he can operate anywhere along the front-line.

He racked up eight goals and five assists in 39 appearances in all competitions for Strasbourg last season, so he is hardly prolific.

For just £5 million, however, Da Costa might just be worth the risk for Norwich City.
