The 29-year-old has always flitted in and out of the Everton line-up since signing for the club in 2012, though he has found his first-team chances limited further this campaign with only four Premier League starts.

Naismith played an active role in Scotland’s recent European Championships qualification campaign, netting three times as Gordon Strachan’s men missed out on the finals at France next year.

At Norwich the striker will link up with former Hamilton Accies boss and fellow Scot Alex Neil.

Neil led Norwich to the English Premier League after only five months in charge of the Canaries and currently has to side three points above the relegation places in 15th.
