Vaughany off to Norwich?

A piece of transfer news this evening, regarding 22-year-old James Vaughan. Everton website GrandOldTeam have published a story linking the youngster with a move to newly-promoted Norwich City.

Vaughan netted nine goals when on loan this season at Crystal Palace, and a move to Carrow Road may provide the opportunity for the injury-prone youngster to play regular Premier League football.

In 2005 Vaughan became the Premier League's youngest ever scorer, notching after entering the fray as a substitute in the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace. Another highlight of his Everton career came when he scored a penalty against Man United in the 2009 FA Cup semi-final.

Unfortunately his progress has been pegged back by a series of knee injuries, although he did manage to make it into the 40-man provisional England squad for the upcoming U-21 European Championships.

Now Norwich manager Paul Lambert is said to be keen to strengthen his squad for the top-flight season ahead, and sees Vaughan as a realistic target at £750,000. Vaughan has had setbacks but, at 22, he has time on his side.

I hope he has a bright career, preferably at Everton, although I almost certainly see him moving on.
