Norwich City have made a £4.5m offer for Roma striker Mattia Destro.

The eight times capped Italy international has fallen down the pecking order at the Serie A club with Edin Dzeko joining them from Manchester City on a season-long loan.

Having been sent to AC Milan for the latter half of 2014-15, a permanent move away is predicted.

The 24-year-old Roma striker is surplus to requirements at the Serie A giants, but Bologna is also interested

Destro has been linked to West Ham and more recently Bologna.

The Ascoli Piceno-born forward began his career in Genoa before joining Serie A newcomers Siena on loan in 2011 and becoming the top goalscorer with 12.

Destro’s move to Roma came the following year when he took the place of Liverpool-bound Fabio Borini.

At Milan he appeared 15 times, scoring three goals.
