Norwich City player in transfer tussle as Derek McInnes ponders move amid St Mirren interest in Motherwell academy product

Motherwell academy product Reece McAlear is reportedly wanted by several Scottish clubs as interest grows in the Norwich City starlet.

The 20-year-old sealed a big move to England before he'd kicked a competitive ball in anger for Motherwell, joining the Canaries in 2019.

While only making one appearance at senior level with Norwich, the central midfielder has impressed in their academy.

He has made the step up to regular senior minutes in the Scottish Championship with Inverness this season and has been an impressive performer in Billy Dodds' promotion-pushing team.

Four goals and three assists from central midfield have helped tempt other clubs to the former Motherwell player's service.

Reports from the Scottish Sun suggest St Mirren - managed by ex-'Well boss Stephen Robinson - and St Johnstone are keen on his services.

Kilmarnock and former Aberdeen boss Derek McInnes is also believed to be an admirer, with his team pushing for promotion back to the Premiership.

McAlear is out of contract at Norwich this summer.
