New Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock has joined the race for wantaway Norwich striker Gary Hooper.

Queens Park Rangers and Aston Villa are among other clubs interested in taking the former Celtic striker.

Hooper put several clubs on alert after telling the relegated Canaries he wanted to keep playing in the Premier League.

Now Warnock is set to table a bid for the player who arrived from Scotland last summer on a £5m three-year deal.

He scored eight goals in 23 starts last season, finishing as the club's top scorer, but couldn't save the Canaries from the drop.
