because (and isn't cort the physical striker)...

Canaries manager Glenn Roeder said he was hoping to compliment the 21-year-old Italian's skills with another striker.

"He's an extremely hard working player, who works off the shoulder, makes runs in behind, now we need to find a more physical striker for him and [Jamie] Cureton," Roeder told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Cureton is at his best when he's got a bigger striker alongside him."

Lupoli began his career in the Arsenal youth setup and spent a season at Derby before moving back to his home nation in 2007, and Roeder says he will fit right in the Championship.

He said: "I've done my homework on him and spoken to a few people at Arsenal who I trust.

"They said that at Championship level, like he proved at Derby, if you make him chances he'll take them."
