​Norwich forward Naismith will consider move away in January

Norwich and Scotland attacker Steven Naismith has said he is open to a move away from the clubs next month after finding his game time under manager Daniel Farke limited.

The former Everton and Rangers player said:

"In the last few weeks, it's been tough to get back in. Being out for a period of time has made me realise the main thing is playing as many games as you can.

"The new manager (Daniel Farke) came in during the summer and I had a really good pre-season, scoring goals and felt really fit. He made a few signings and had his idea of how he wanted to play and who he wanted to play.

"I have struggled from after I got my injury and that's something I will need to look at in January. I'll do as much as I can in the short term to do that, but I don't think at my age you can afford to have too many months not playing when you are fit and ready to play."

Naismith has featured just 3 times this season, with his last appearances coming in an EFL Cup win against Charlton in August, before spending just under two months out injured.
