Norwich City legend Darren Huckerby isn't surprised Paul Lambert is looking to join Aston Villa.

Villa are reported to be meeting Lambert's representatives today over their vacancy.

"It is all speculation at the minute, but there is too many people saying it for it not to be true.

"We have got to look at the last three years, where we have come from and where we are now, and say thank you to Paul Lambert if he does go," Huckerby said on talkSPORT.

"Obviously he is going to be well sought after. What he has done over the past three years means there are teams who are going to be looking at him.

"The Norwich board do not want to lose him, but it looks like that has what has happened.

"Eventually with his record and what he has done at Norwich, it looked like someone would poach him - but that is football, it has always been the same, when managers do well, they move on.

"Villa have got the potential to go pretty high up in the league when they get all of their players back."
