Norwich City striker Steven Naismith has agreed to join Scottish club Hearts on loan for the remainder of the season, according to Edinburgh News.
With both sides happy with the terms of the deal, the SPL club are hoping to get it completed in time for him to be able to feature and make his debut in this weekend’s Scottish Cup match against Hibernian.
The 31-year-old has fallen out of favour at Norwich and with there being little sign of him being brought back into the fold, a loan move away seems like a sensible course of action for all parties.
The former Everton man hasn’t played competitively since August and will now move in hope securing regular first-team action.
A host of other clubs, including Rangers and Kilmarnock, were interested in the player but he favoured a move to Hearts and he will be hoping to feature in the Edinburgh derby, provided the deal is completed on time, as expected.
