Norwich City: Dieumerci Mbokani and Matt Jarvis join on loan

Dieumerci Mbokani played for Kiev against Everton in the Europa League last season

Norwich City have signed West Ham United midfielder Matt Jarvis and Dynamo Kiev striker Dieumerci Mbokani on season-long loans.

Jarvis, 29, made 90 appearances for the Hammers after joining in August 2012.

The Canaries have an option to buy Mbokani, who is a 29-year-old DR Congo international.

"He's a big, strong number nine," said City manager Alex Neil. "He can take the ball in, he's mobile and he's a real threat in the box."

Meanwhile, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, 26, has joined Real Betis on loan.

The Dutch forward signed for Norwich from Sporting Lisbon for a club-record fee of £8.5m in July 2013 but scored only one Premier League goal as the club were relegated from the top division and he spent 2014-15 on loan at French club St Etienne.

And midfielder Bradley Johnson has left the club to sign for Derby for £6m.

What the fans say

"I have mixed emotions about Bradley Johnson's transfer to Derby: he was outstanding for us last season, but I think he'd struggle to match that form in the Premier League, especially with the competition in midfield.

"We've brought in Dieumerci Mbokani from Dinamo Kiev on loan, of whom I know nothing about and Matt Jarvis from West Ham - not on many City fans' wish lists, especially after some of the names we were linked with. No centre back though."
