Hall: In-demand

Norwich boss Peter Grant has confirmed his interest in Wigan defender Fitz Hall.

Wigan are believed to be willing to loan out Hall, as he is well down the pecking order at the JJB Stadium.

Grant is in the market for defensive reinforcements with Jason Shackell struggling with an ankle injury and he is a confirmed admirer of Hall.

Interested

"We are always interested in good players and Fitz Hall is a good player," Grant told the club's official website. "He is one we've looked at.

"But a lot of clubs are interested in players and 90 per cent of the time you find yourself having to pay a transfer fee as a loan fee.

"And a loan player from the Premier League would cost Premier League wages.

"But the search continues no matter what."
