Barnett set for Canaries stay

10 December 2010 10:00
West Brom defender Leon Barnett is poised to convert his loan spell at Norwich into a permanent move when the January transfer window opens. The former Luton centre-half moved to Carrow Road in August and the two clubs have agreed in principle a deal, for an undisclosed fee, which will see Barnett join City on a three-and-a-half-year contract. He joined Albion from Luton for an initial £2.5million fee in July 2007 and his Hawthorns contract is set to expire in June. Norwich manager Paul Lambert said: "Leon has been colossal for us and has become a fans` favourite. "I don`t think anyone can say that he hasn`t given everything he`s got and I`m delighted he will join us permanently."
