Everton striker Steven Naismith is set to join Norwich
 
Naismith has scored four goals in 13 appearances for Roberto Martinez's side this season, including a hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Chelsea last September.

But the Scotland international has not featured for the Toffees since the turn of the year.

And boss Roberto Martinez has sanctioned his departure in order to raise funds for new signings.

Everton are expected to use the £8.5m they will bank from Naismith's sale to move for £21m Dynamo Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko.
 
But Martinez is set to bring in a new face in the shape of Sam Byram.

The Daily Star report Leeds midfielder Byram has passed his medical and signed a three-year contract with Everton.

Italian journalist Emanuele Giulianelli claimed on Twitter the deal could be announced today.

West Ham, Aston Villa and Newcastle had also been linked with the 22-year-old.
