"Yes, he is a player who has been discussed," Neil told reporters at Norwich's Colney Training Centre on Friday.

"I have said before I won't just go and sign players, I will wait to the end (of the transfer window) 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," the manager added.

The transfer window in England closes on Sept. 1.
