Norwich City have Jonny Howson bid accepted by Leeds United

Norwich City will open contract talks with Jonny Howson after Leeds "reluctantly" accepted an undisclosed offer for the midfielder.
The 23-year-old, who has featured 22 times this season, is out of contract in the summer.
Howson is a product of the Leeds academy and has gone on to make 225 appearances for the Elland Road club.
Leeds say discussions with Howson over a new deal - which have spanned 12 months - have been unsuccessful.


In a statement the club added: "We have reluctantly accepted the offer on the basis that the player only has six months of his current contract remaining and has expressed a desire to play Premier League football at the earliest opportunity."
The Leeds captain has not played since picking up a knee injury in the 2-0 win over Millwall at the beginning of December.
Canaries boss Paul Lambert has yet to strengthen his side in the January transfer window, as he looks to maintain the Norfolk cub's position in the top half of the Premier League.
Should Howson move to Norwich he will link up with former team-mate Bradley Johnson, who switched to Carrow Road from Leeds in the summer.
Meanwhile, Norwich defender Ritchie de Laet has returned to parent club Manchester United after having his loan spell terminated five months early.
The 23-year-old Belgian has played seven times for the Canaries but has not featured since the 2-0 Premier League loss to Tottenham on 27 December.

Can't see many renewing next season, I've only done aways for the past 12 months so that my money doesn't go on his building projects. Expect a bottom half finish this season and a relegation fight next with that bearded cunt in charge. Our only hope is if he drops dead. Fingers crossed.

If this goes through then it speaks volumes for me, Bates is a complete and utter tosspot no ambition if he did he'd be investing in the club to move it forward, also Howson is a Leeds lad and life long Leeds fan he must know that we aren't going up anytime soon or he'd sign a new contract.

I did hear a rumour which I hope it is just that but Mr Grayson is on his way with a certain Mr Warnock replacing him??

Whatever happens as long as one of them is manager it's a win win situation, Grayson is doing a good job and no doubt warnock would do the same.

I would start worrying if the likes of steve mclaren was thrown in the mix.
