No Prem move for Alex hitman - Report

Yahoo! Sport today reported that Rob Hulse's imminent transfer will not involve a Premiership club.

Last season's top scorer and Player of the Year is eyeing a move to a Premiership outfit but boss Gradi was reported as saying: "No Premier League club has come in so I don't think he's going to get the move he wants."

David Moyes' Everton were said to have been interested in the Crewe born and bred striker and crowd favourite, but with Dario's comments it looks likely that he will end up at either West Bromwich Albion (who as we reported had a bid rejcted) or Norwich City who reportedly approached John Bowler yesterday.

Hulse rejected a move to Cardiff City in midweek, so the Baggies or Canaries are odds-on favourites to capture one of the clubs hottest prospects in recent years.
