Hoolahan staying as Hughton battles relegation pressure

Wes Hoolahan is not leaving Norwich and nor is Chris Hughton – just as long as the manager keeps the club out of relegation trouble, that is.

While chief executive David McNally was insisting that Hughton’s remit was to keep the Canaries out of the bottom three, the former Irish international indicated that current Irish international Hoolhan is going nowhere in the transfer window, despite having already been the subject of a bid by Paul Lambert at Aston Villa.

Hughton has confirmed he wants to keep the seven-times capped 31 year old midfielder and is instead focused on bringing in reinforcements to Carrow Road.
