Norwich boss Chris Hughton moves to sign Brighton forward Craig Mackail-Smith, according to reports.

Norwich City have reportedly made an approach for Brighton & Hove Albion striker Craig McKail-Smith.

The 28-year-old only joined Brighton from Peterborough in a £2.5m move last summer, but the Seagulls are apparently happy to cash in on their prize asset after learning of Premier League interest.

Championship rivals Leeds United were thought to be favourites to land the Scotland international, but Norwich have now moved to snap up the frontman as Chris Hughton looks to bolster his forward options.

The Canaries boss is seeking more firepower to support Grant Holt and Simeon Jackson in attack, while Steve Morison has been linked with a move away from Carrow Road.

Hughton has identified Mackail-Smith, who scored twice in Brighton's 5-1 win over Barnsley on Saturday, as his number one target and has tabled a formal bid, according to Sky Sports News.
