Rowe move will become permanent

Norwich City have confirmed that forward Jonathan Rowe's move to Marseille will become permanent this summer.

The 22-year-old moved to Ligue 1 on an initial loan and the Canaries say he will remain in France under an "obligation to buy in the agreement between the two clubs".

Rowe has scored three goals in 27 league appearances for Marseille but only five of them have been starts.

He told the club website last week: "The season has been a bit disappointing because I haven't played as much as I would have liked. I love playing here and I can't wait to see what the future holds.

"Last season I was a regular starter at Norwich and I took a step forward. OM is a very big club. There have been good times here, even if there have been some difficult ones. I've learned a lot.

"I'm happy to fight for my place. I try to be decisive on the pitch. I'm convinced I can bring more to the team. I'm convinced you haven't seen the best of me yet."

On the Canaries, he said: "Norwich is the club I grew up with, from the academy to the first team. I follow the club's results and I'm still in touch with some of the players."

At the time of his move last August, BBC Sport understood the deal was worth £17m in total, with Norwich also including a sell-on clause.
