Town Beat Norwich to Kuqi Signing

Discussions about the move had started at the beginning of the week with boss Joe Royle and Sheffield Wednesday alongside Kuqi's advisers in talks to come up with a deal that suited all parties, after nearly a week longs worth of talks, tonight the parties agreed on a move.

Kuqi will sign for the club initally on what will be a free transfer, however the agreement with Sheffield Wednesday is said to state that should Town be promoted whilst Shefki is at Portman Road, Wednesday would be due a small fee as part of the package.

Town fans will be delighted that the Finnish International star has choosen Town over neighbours Norwich who made a late bid for the Sheffield Wednesday striker in an attempt to sabotage Town's chances of signing him permenantley.

Confirming the move, Town Boss Joe Royle told the Official Club Website: "Shefki has done well for us since he arrived here and I am delighted that he has agreed to join the Club on a permanent deal,"
