Norwich set to release Steven Naismith on a FREE TRANSFER… just 16 months after shelling out £8.5million for the striker from Everton

STEVEN NAISMITH could be handed a free transfer by Norwich — just 16 months after joining from Everton for £8.5million.

Cash-strapped Norwich, who failed to reach the Championship play-offs, yesterday showed the door to John Ruddy, Sebastien Bassong, Steven Whittaker, Ryan Bennett, Youssouf Mulumbu, Michael Turner and Kyle Lafferty.

The Canaries are planning further cuts and Scottish international Naismith — who earns £50,000 a week — could be released to save the club £5m in wages over the remaining two years of his contract.
