Report: Hull's Robbie Brady set for Norwich City medical

Norwich City are poised to make its third summer signing as Hull City winger Robbie Brady looks ready for a transfer to Carrow Road.

Hull manager Steve Bruce has reconciled losing Brady, as Norwich have met his £7-million valuation, according to ESPNFC.

"I have done everything I can to try and persuade Robbie to stay here and help us get back into the Premier League at the first attempt."

Bruce continued, "But he's had two seasons in the top flight with us and that's where he wants to carry on playing again next season, it's as simple as that. That's the bottom line for Robbie and I just have to face up to the fact that, even though I don't want him to go, I'm resigned to losing him."

Brady has long been a transfer target for Norwich manager Alex Neil, hoping to add to the acquisitions of Youssouf Mulumbu and Graham Dorrans from West Bromwich Albion, but initial offers left Bruce shaking his head.

"Norwich have come in with bids for Robbie Brady, but I have to say they have been embarrassing," Bruce said in the Hull Daily Mail.

"The supporters should know the truth and Norwich came in two weeks ago with a bid of £2 million, £2.5 million and then £3 million. That's ridiculous for someone who is 23, has played two years in the Premier League and has become a regular international.

"When we have just got almost twice that for Tom Ince (who joined Derby for £5 million). It doesn't make sense. We paid £2.75 million for Robbie and that was three years ago."

If Brady passes his medical, his addition to the Canaries should help the club improve their depth, which could pay dividends over the long Premier League season and two cup runs.
