Norwich City manager Alex Neil wasn't giving much away today when asked about any potential interest in Everton forward Steven Naismith.

The Canaries have been heavily linked with a fresh bid for the forward who they tried to sign in the summer.

Some reports have even suggested that a deal has already been agreed in principle for the Scot to move to Carrow in January, but Neil wouldn't confirm or deny whether that was the case.

Neil gave a similarly blunt response when quizzed about rumours linking the club with Dinamo Zagreb's Ivo Pinto, saying again that he wasn't prepared to comment on speculation.

The Canaries do appear to have missed out on another of their reported targets however, with Lorient defender Lamine Koné close to joining Sunderland.
