Last updated on .From the section Football

Norwich City have agreed to sign striker Ricky van Wolfswinkel from Sporting Lisbon in the summer for an undisclosed fee, thought to be £8.5m.
The Netherlands international, 24, will sign a four-year deal on 1 July, subject to paperwork being completed.
Van Wolfswinkel has scored 13 goals for Sporting Lisbon this season.
"Ricky's profile is a perfect fit for us - he's young, ambitious and a proven goalscorer," said Norwich boss Chris Hughton.
"He has an excellent goalscoring pedigree and he's a young man very keen to continue his personal progression and to play in England.
"He's already an exciting talent but he still has more development as a player ahead of him.
Van Wolfswinkel signed a five-year deal when joining Sporting Lisbon from Netherlands club Utrecht in 2011.
He went on to score 23 goals in 39 games in his debut season for the Portuguese club.

"One Ricky van Wolfswinkel,
there's only one Ricky van Wolfswinkel,
one Ricky van Wolfswinkel.." etc
I've searched LinkedIn, there literally is only one Ricky van Wolfswinkel
Catch a grip.
He supports Celtic, a team who play in Scotland where the best and most successful team in the country play in the bottom tier. No wonder he's confused.
Basically, you don't know what you're talking about.
Tight budget controls have righted the ship and now McNasty is letting Hoots dip into the pot...
Qpr,Blackburn,ip5w1ch, Leeds, Wolves take note.. THIS is how you run a small club.
Serious show of intent from Norwich...
So you know each and every 'good' and upcoming player in the sport? Give me a break
He's only scored in the Portuguese and Dutch League? Well, players have to start somewhere. Van Persie, Van Nistel Rooy, Sneijder, Suarez, Ronaldo, Nani all were, for the most part, unknown goal-scorers in the Dutch or Portuguese league prior to arriving to the Premier League.
My club Norwich are one of the sides that have the most players from the British Isles. Some of these are pushing for international honours. For a club that's only been in the top league for 2 season's that is not bad! RvW could be the new Michu next season. The wages are managable after all this is little old Norwich we're talking about, prudence with ambition and all that Delia talk
He's coming over from Sporting Lisbon, hardly unknown. Actually, its the same club that gave United Cristiano Ronaldo. And the player's also quite known, he's a Dutch International. A bit of respect would be nice.
