Cardiff City keen on Norwich and Northern Ireland's Kyle Lafferty - Sky sources

Cardiff City are interested in signing Northern Ireland striker Kyle Lafferty from Norwich, according to Sky sources.

The Welsh side are seeking a forward and it is understood Lafferty is on their radar, although no bid has been made as yet.

Former Rangers forward Lafferty was a talisman for his country as he scored seven goals in the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign to help Northern Ireland to their first finals tournament in 30 years.

His club appearances have been more fleeting, however, and he has played just five times for Norwich between this season and last, with a loan spell at Birmingham giving him six more games.

Now 28, Lafferty's most successful spell came at Ibrox, where he scored on the day Rangers won the league for three consecutive seasons.

Since leaving there in 2012 after the club encountered financial difficulties, he has played for Sion, Palermo and had a loan spell at Turkish team Rizespor.

Lafferty moved to Carrow Road two years ago but has only made 13 starts for Norwich, scoring just three times.
