Norwich boss Alex Neil has just been talking about his decision to take Chelsea striker Patrick Bamford on loan until the end of the season.

Bamford scored 17 Championship goals on loan at Middlesbrough last season, but failed to start a Premier League game during a loan spell at Crystal Palace earlier this season.

"He's a player we were quite keen on in the summer and he has a proven pedigree of scoring goals," said Neil. "He didn't have game time at Crystal Palace and you can't score if you don't play.

"We saw firsthand how good he is last season and we are hoping he can take the step up and score goals at this level."
