Johan Elmander's switch from Galatasaray to Norwich City could be complete as early as tomorrow with the striker already on his way to England.

Elmander was tipped as a potential Norwich target after the Canaries gave up on PSV Eindhoven man Ola Toivonen ever making up his mind.

 


Galatasaray's Didier Drogba has been raking in the game time alongside Burak Yilmaz which meant Elmander had to think of other options.

Both Norwich and Galatasaray are understood to have come to an agreement over the transfer, with Elmander having spent just a season at the Turkish outfit.

The former Bolton Wanderers player makes a return to England after just two years, having played for the Trotters between 2008 and 2011.

According to Turkish outlet NTV Spor, Elmander is set to officially put his signature to a contract tomorrow.

The outlet also published a picture of Elmander on a plane presumably bound for England, while the player himself was quoted as saying: "I would like to say goodbye to the Galatasary fans."

Elmander became a favourite at the Reebok Stadium in the three years he spent there, making 108 appearances in all competitions.

He started his domestic career in his native Sweden but then moved on to Feyenoord whilst also playing spells at Brondby and Toulouse.
