Norwich confirm Strihavka deal

Norwich have signed Czech striker David Strihavka from Banik Ostrava.

Skysports.com revealed that Norwich were set to swoop for the 24-year-old last month, and the club have now confirmed that Strihavka has signed a four-year deal with the club.

Strihavka was top scorer in his country's top flight last season with 13 goals in 28 appearances and has played in the UEFA Champions League with Sparta Prague.

"We thought with his quality we weren't going to be able to get him because we thought there were a few Premiership clubs looking at him and top clubs in the Czech Republic, and I can understand why," Canaries boss Peter Grant (pictured) told the Norwich Evening News.

"He's getting touted as an international player very quickly - right now they're talking about him coming into the squad.

"I think the players can see, from the short period of time he trained this morning, the qualities he has."

The striker has made no secret of his desire to move to England in the past, and says he is looking forward to life at Carrow Road.

"It's a nice city, a nice training centre and I will enjoy starting the season," he said.
