Promoted Norwich City have secured Everton striker James Vaughan and manager Paul Lambert is delighted.

The 22-year old, who has had loan spells with Derby County, Leicester City and Crystal Palace in recent times, has agreed a three-year deal with the Canaries after having his first team chances cut at Goodison Park and Lambert is looking forward to having the talented forward amongst the ranks at Carrow Road.

He's someone who fits in with the group in the sense that he's hungry to do well and has great desire," he told canaries.co.uk.

"He's already shown great potential as a young player with Everton and when I have seen him playing for them and for Crystal Palace I have always thought he was a threat in and around the box.

"I think James will be fantastic for us and provide extra competition for places, which is always good to have," he added.
