'No deal' yet for Brady


Norwich City manager Alex Neil says the Canaries are "nowhere near a deal" to sell Ireland midfielder Robbie Brady.

Burnley have reportedly made a £10m bid for the former Manchester United youngster, while Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Leicester are also thought to be mulling over offers.

But Neil says the 25-year-old remains a Norwich player, and is likely to play in Wednesday's FA Cup third-round replay against Southampton at St Mary's.

"There's obviously been teams interested in Robbie but we're not anywhere near a deal with anybody," the Scot said.

"I'm not going to go into the nuts and bolts of it but the point of it is there's no deal for Robbie Brady anywhere near done.

"That's what I'd say and you can pick the bones out of that whatever way you like."

Brady is likely to fill in at left-back against the Saints, following the sale of Martin Olsson to Swansea on Tuesday.

When asked if he was thinking of omitting Brady against Southampton so he would not be cup-tied, Neil replied: "Cup-tied for who, he's a Norwich City player?

"My responsibility in my job is to look after Norwich City, Robbie Brady is a Norwich City player and will be utilised as a Norwich City player to the best use of Norwich City."
