Bell bid less than half what is needed?

“Looking at the offers on the table at the moment, Norwich were not even at 50pc of what we are looking at from the other bidders,” said Stephen Browne, director of the LTFC20202 consortium bidding to take control at Kenilworth Road.

Luton say they have heard nothing from City since turning down a bid for the 24-year-old midfielder last week - and that could mean the chase is over.

“Norwich made an offer which fell quite some way short of our valuation,” added Browne. “It was a long, long way short. We have a valuation and I don't think it is unrealistic. We went back to their chief executive and said 'no thanks, but if you want to put in a revised bid we will listen'. No one has come back so as far as we are concerned that is the end of the matter. As far as David being linked with Norwich, the ball is in their court.”
