Ricky van Wolfswinkel to join St Etienne on loan

Norwich City forward Ricky Van Wolfswinkel is hoping to kickstart his career with a move to French side St Etienne on loan. The Dutch striker failed to adapt to life in England in last season's Premier League campaign.

There had been high hopes for the striker who joined from Sporting Lisbon last summer. However a season of discontent in the Premier League for Norwich City means that he will now be given a chance to prove himself in another league.

St Etienne can make the deal permanent for a fee of around 7.5 million euros in 2015.
