Norwich closing on Lazio defender

Premier League side Norwich city are set to complete the signing of Lazio defender Michael Ciani. The 29 year old signed from French club Bordeaux in 2012. The deal will be worth 2.5million euros.



Norwich are embroiled in a relegation battle and want to bolster their defensive options.

Ciani has made it clear that he will not be signing a new contract at the Serie A club, which runs out in 2015 and Lazio want the best price for the defender rather than allowing him walk for free.

Since moving to Biancocelesti in 2012 he has made 32 league appearances for the club and won the Coppa Italia last season.
