Aston Villa have had a bid accepted for Fulham striker Ross McCormack.

Norwich City have been chasing the 29-year-old all summer and have been in intense negotiations with the Cottagers over the past week.

However, the Canaries haven't been able to get a bid accepted and Villa have taken advantage and now appear to be in pole position to secure his signature.

It remains to be seen whether the Canaries match Villa's offer.

A brief Fulham statement said: 'The club can confirm that a bid has been accepted from Aston Villa for Ross McCormack.

'Further details will be announced in due course.'
