Now a host of clubs want the Star Striker,the battle begins

Norwich, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Derby, Fulham & Wigan keen on Bournemouth striker

BY ELLIOTT ⋅ WEDNESDAY JUNE 4, 2014


Cardiff were favourites to sign the Bournemouth striker,but now a string of clubs know about his availability,Norwich and Wigan are now favourites to capture him.

Norwich, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Derby, Fulham & Wigan are all monitoring Bournemouth striker Lewis Grabban.

Cardiff City have already met the in-demand striker’s release clause, while Middlesbrough had also been in talks with the player, although they have yet to finalise their offer.

With Cardiff signing strikers Adam Le Fondre & Federico Macheda last week, Middlesbrough looked to have edged ahead in the race to land Grabban after making him their top striking target this summer.

Reports are now suggesting that Norwich have entered the fray to land the 26-year-old, who scored 22 goals in the Championship last term.

Nottingham Forest, Derby, Fulham & Wigan are also thought to be monitoring the situation

do you think we'll still go in for him?

Nat, I actually believe, we have moved on from him and his agent is touting him around.

me too. after the signing we've made and the players we got I can't see a need. Would have to start shipping a fair few out as it is let alone get another one in

don't think cardiff need him anymore, his agent as messed it up for him to come to cardiff now

We've moved on from him I think, we got enough fire power now, we don't need him

Let's not be held to ransom over this grabban kid.ole,go get a decent centre half who can pass from a to b and not hoof it 40 yards all the time!!!!

I don't think we're interest anymore. From the interviews Ole has given how he wants footballers who love the game and not all that flash that now comes with the modern game I can't see him being interested in someone who only will go for the highest bidding team.

Feels like Ole is building a team of kids that want to play for him vs kids that want to get rich. Anyone else get that feeling?

We been linked with a polish youngster now for 2m euros. Doubt any intrest in Grabban anymore with the bargain 1m Le Fondre and free agents Macheda and Guerra i dont think Grabban would fit in especially with the likes of Maynard, Campbell, Jones, Mason and dare i say Velikonja still at the club with Healy there aswell

How would Annis know. Terry Burton has left the Club and someone else has gone to Switzerland

I think the same i believe we may have shown an interest as a plan B if Le fondre hadn't signed.

touche. although that is true I was trying to engage his opinion, not his insider knowledge (or now lack thereof )

Don't need him now, agree with the above.

According to sky he's signed for Norwich
