Gary Hooper: Sheffield Wednesday sign Norwich striker

Gary Hooper has scored 20 goals in 70 appearances for Norwich

Sheffield Wednesday have signed Norwich City striker Gary Hooper on loan until 17 January.

The 27-year-old former Celtic forward has only featured twice for the Canaries this season.

He scored 12 goals in 34 appearances last season as Norwich won promotion back to the Premier League at the first attempt via the play-offs.

Hooper is unable to play for Wednesday in their League Cup fourth round tie against Arsenal on Tuesday.

He is likely to make his debut for Wednesday in Saturday's home game against Nottingham Forest.

Carlos Carvalhal's side are currently unbeaten in eight games and sit four points outside the play-off places.
