Kyle Lafferty heading back to Palermo?

Palermo have reportedly expressed an interest in re-signing Norwich City striker Kyle Lafferty.

The Northern Ireland international spent the 2013-14 campaign with the Italian club, for whom he scored 11 goals in 34 appearances.

He departed following a dispute with president Maurizio Zamparini, but according to Corriere Dello Sport, the frontman could make a return to Sicily during the January transfer window.

Norn Iron boss Michael O'Neill recently encouraged Lafferty to leave Norwich next month to gain regular starting action elsewhere ahead of Euro 2016.
