Norwich City boss Alex Neil confirms interest in Roma striker Mattia Destro

Norwich City boss Alex Neil confirms that the club have discussed a possible deal for Roma and Italy international striker Mattia Destro.

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has confirmed the club's interest in signing Italy international striker Mattia Destro.

Reports had suggested that the Premier League side have made a £4.5m offer for the 24-year-old Roma frontman, and Neil has now revealed that discussions have taken place.

"Yes, he is a player who has been discussed," he told reporters. "I have said before I won't just go and sign players, I will wait to the end if I have to.

"I need to sign players I think are going to add to the group and make us stronger and better. That is probably why it is taking so long."

Destro signed for Roma from Sienna in 2012, scoring 29 goals in 68 games before being loaned out to AC Milan last season where he scored just three times in 15 appearances.
