Championship promotion contenders Norwich City have increased their fire-power for the rest of the season by bringing in Dani Pacheco and Sam Vokes on loan from Liverpool and Wolves respectively.

Norwich are currently second in the Championship but only Grant Holt of their out-and-out strikers has scored regularly this campaign and Paul Lambert is looking to give him some support up front.

Pacheco is currently with the Spanish under-21 side and has represented his country at under-17 and under-19 level.

Vokes is a full Welsh international and is currently with the national side preparing to face England on Saturday.

Lambert said of his new signings: “The two of them were desperate to come and play and that was very important to me.

“Sam Vokes had a terrific time at Bournemouth at the start of his career and he’s a threat and a presence around the box.

“Dani Pacheco is a lad we’ve seen playing for Liverpool’s first team this season and I’ve been talking to Kenny Dalglish about him for a few weeks now.

“He’s technically very good as you’d expect having been with clubs like Barcelona and Liverpool and the fact that he’s away with Spain’s Under-21s side at the moment speaks volumes for his ability and potential.”

Both deals are subject to Football Association clearance, but are not expected to encounter any problems.
