Steven Naismith’s move to Norwich appears a great bit of business by Everton

During his time at Everton, Steven Naismith has become something of a fan favourite.

Whether he's scoring perfect hat-tricks in big games or just proving himself to be one of football's good guys, it's not hard to see why he's popular on Merseyside. But when an offer like this comes in, you can't say no, so it's no surprise that the club have accepted an £8.5m bid for Naismith from Norwich City. At 29, the Scottish striker is in his prime and the Canaries are hopeful he can keep them in the Premier League for another season. Everton fans were sad to see him go...until they saw the price tag. https://twitter.com/Jxgielka/status/689018078106140672 https://twitter.com/Callumdeegan88/status/689017746915487744 https://twitter.com/JamesMawFFT/status/689011170406191104

Rival fans were quick to draw comparisons...

In fairness to Norwich, when you're in a relegation battle you need big-game players, and Naismith seems to be exactly that...
