Newly promoted Norwich City have already secured the signing of Millwall's former striker Steve Morison and he looks set to make a big impact for the club and is already optimistic that they can avoid the drop.

An interview on ESPNsoccernet.com at the end of June quoted him as saying:

''Once you get into the top flight you want to stay in it because so much hard work is required to get to that stage. The Premier League is where this club belongs and I'm sure that the manager and the team will do everything they can to make us stay there."

With that said the team has been looking to continue with their player influx following the promising arrival of Morison who scored 35 goals in 83 league appearances for Milwall between 2009 and 2011.

Four days ago only July 1st, 2011 the club sealed their fifth signing of the summer with the arrival of former Leeds Untied midfielder Bradley Johnson on a three year deal.

Johnson was named Leeds' 2010-11 player of the year after a season that included 49 appearances and six goals for the once mighty club.

The move appears to be a dream come true when you take his comments from the previously linked article at face value:

''I have dreamed of playing in the Premier League since I was younger and I feel I have done a lot of hard work to get there, coming up from the Ryman League now all the way to getting a chance in the Premier League, I just can't wait to get started."

Now that those two have joined, the club continue to look for strength and squad depth as they now chase the signature of Anthony Pilkington from Huddersfield Town.

The 23 year old winger and forward has amassed 92 league appearances for the club while in route to scoring 19 goals. His creative spark and attacking play are hoped to add more edge to the Canaries attack.

His move looks to be in the £2million range and it now seems that the move is only pending a medical according to both the Daily Mirror and Sky Sports.
