Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay is in the frame for the Norwich City job.

Norwich face the prospect of needing to replace Paul Lambert as he seeks talks with Aston Villa.

The Sun says Mackay will be a contender to succeed the Scot.

He took Cardiff to the Carling Cup final, where they lost to Liverpool on penalties, as well as the Championship play-offs last season.

Chris Hughton is also in the frame.

West Brom are not keen to cough up around £2.5million for the Birmingham man's services.

But that figure would not worry Norwich who expect to receive some compensation from Villa when Lambert is officially installed as boss.
