Norwich City join West Ham United in race to sign 29-goal striker for £10m – report
Norwich City have joined West Ham United in the race to sign Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong this summer, The Telegraph reports.

With just one year left on his contract, he has been tipped to make the step up to the top-flight, with West Ham United interested in his services. The Canaries, who secured automatic promotion from the Championship, are also interested in the 24-year-old as they bid to bolster their frontline.

Norwich City seal Championship title finally at Carrow Road
Norwich City have clinched the Championship title on Saturday after coming from behind to defeat Reading 4-1 at Carrow Road.

The Canaries would have actually wrapped up the title on Saturday regardless of their own result after fellow promoted side Watford were beaten 2-0 at play-off hopefuls Brentford.
