The Canaries were today reported to be chasing Derry City winger Paddy McCourt.

Newly-promoted West Bromich Albion have already agreed a £150,000 deal with Derry for McCourt, who was expected to have a medical at The Hawthorns this week.

Reports in Londonderry claimed today, however, that City were negotiating with the Candystripes and were prepared to match Albion's offer.

McCourt, 24, who has one Northern Ireland cap, has previously played for Rochdale and Shamrock Rovers.
