Official: S. Naismith moves to "Norwich" for £8.5 million

"Norwich City" announced on Tuesday evening that they have completed negotiations with Liverpool's "Everton" for the acquisition of 29-year-old defender Steven Naismith. The "Canaries" revealed that they have signed a three and a half year contract with the experienced Scottish player. It is believed that they paid a sum of 8.5 million pounds sterling for the footballer. "I am very happy to have signed a contract with Norwich and can focus on consistent play again," said the attacking defender. "The club has clearly shown that they want my services and I am very pleased about it." This season, S. Naismith played 13 matches and scored four goals. With the season halfway through, the Scot completely lost playing time and had to make a drastic decision in January. In total, the former "Rangers" player played 123 matches for "Everton" and managed to score against opponents' goalkeepers 25 times.
