CANARIES COMPLETE GILKS DEAL

Norwich have signed Rochdale goalkeeper Matt Gilks on a free transfer.
Gilks, 25, has snubbed a new deal at Spotland and has instead agreed a two-year contract with the Coca-Cola Championship outfit.
The Canaries have been chasing a new goalkeeper for much of the summer and although Peter Grant has refused to give up hope of bringing Celtic's David Marshall back to the club, he was delighted to capture Gilks, who made more than 200 appearances for Dale.
Grant told the Canaries' official website, www.canaries.co.uk: "I'm not just looking at David - and getting Matty proves that. He wants to come and fight for the 'keeper position.
"He has played two full seasons, has not missed a game and has been terrific."
Dale boss Keith Hill added: "He's an outstanding keeper, it's just a shame we couldn't retain his services.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he's a Premier League goalkeeper in the next few seasons."

Hibs bring in Chelsea keeper Makaba-Makalamby

Scottish outfit Hibernian have completed the signing of goalkeeper Yves Makabu-Ma-Kalambay from Chelsea. Makabu-Ma-Kalambay is wearing the Nike T90 Gunn Cut
The 21-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract and will arrive at Easter Road on July 1.
Hibs manager John Collins had hoped to bring in the young goalkeeper during the January transfer window but the player was recalled by the Blues to cover for injuries to Petr Cech and Carlo Cudicini.
The goalkeeping position has been a major problem area for Hibs over the last couple of seasons, with Simon Brown, Zbigniew Malkowski and current keeper Andy McNeil all making high-profile mistakes.
Collins was thrilled to land his fifth summer signing, telling the club's official website: "We were all very impressed by Yves when he came to Easter Road in January and had hoped he might join us at that point.
"However, Chelsea required him to return as back-up and we had to be patient.
"He is again a young signing for us but of tremendous potential.
"He is a good height for a goalkeeper at 6ft 5in tall and is very strong and athletic - in fact he has all the attributes you could expect to find in a player in that position.
"It says much for his qualities that he was on the verge of playing in the Champions League, and I have little doubt that, had he been called upon to do so, he would have done himself justice.
"It is perhaps to our advantage that he did not play in that game. Had he done so, we might never have had an opportunity to bring him to Easter Road.
"He has benefited from world-class coaching at Chelsea under Silvino Lauro but such is the quality of goalkeepers at Chelsea there was little opportunity for first-team football and at this stage in his career that is what Yves is seeking.
"Yves will continue to develop at our club and have every opportunity to reach his full potential, something that I am confident he will achieve."

Carlo's perfect match!

WIGAN Athletic have handed a belated wedding present to Carlo Nash.The former Stockport and Manchester City keeper has returned from honeymoon to finalise his move to Wigan on a two-year deal.And he is excited by the prospect of playing Premiership football.Nash spent a month on loan at Latics last season and liked what he saw. "I got a taste of Wigan, loved it and realised they are a great club," he said."I also saw how professional everything is from the management down and I'm looking forward to the start of the season."This is a great move for me and I'm glad things have been sorted out.Healthy"There is a lot of competition among the keepers and it's my aim to stake a claim to be first choice. I admire the other two keepers Chris Kirkland and Mike Pollitt and such healthy competition can only be good."I've also known Gary Walsh the goalkeeper coach a number of years and, when I was here last season, I joked they had only brought me in because I owed him a tenner!"Everything about the Wigan set up is superb. Chris Hutchings, the manager, has also impressed me."

Villa join the hunt for Jaaskelainen

Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Bolton goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen. Villa manager Martin O'Neill is interested in acquiring the Finnish international. O'Neill has made an inquiry for the 32-year-old who recently rejected a contract extension with the Trotters. He is searching for a new first-choice goalkeeper with Thomas Sorensen's days at Villa Park apparently numbered.
He has only 12 months of his contract and there have been no signs of O'Neill offering him a new deal even though the Danish international claimed a couple of months ago that he was in the best form of his career.
Bolton are understood to be looking for around £4.5million for Jaaskelainen but will be hard pressed to get that given the short amount of time left on his contract.
Villa will face competition with Sunderland believed to be among the clubs also chasing Jaaskelainen who has made more than 350 appearances for Bolton.
He cost Bolton just £100,000 when signed from VPS Vaasa nine years ago.

Craig Gordon has put Aston Villa on red alert!

Hearts captain Craig Gordon has put Aston Villa on red alert after declaring he wants a move south."When I was younger my first ambition was to play for Hearts and maybe one day captain the club," Gordon told the News of the World. "After that I don't think it gets much better than the Premiership. It's rightly regarded as the biggest league in the world. If you want to prove yourself against the best players in the world that's where you have to go these days.
"The teams down there are all probably a step up from the teams we have here in Scotland, so to prove myself in the Premiership and win something would mean a lot to me."
