Norwich have accepted a £6million bid from Middlesbrough for Jonny Howson with the midfielder now set for a medical on Teeside.
Howson, 29, is understood to have made his desire for a move away clear during training this week and Norwich have reluctantly accepted Boro's offer.
Garry Monk made a major play for Howson last week but the Carrow Road club were determined to extract the highest possible fee for the want-away midfielder.
Boro are now set to land a key target as Monk shapes his team for a promotion tilt.
