Lupoli threatens to quit Canaries

Arturo Lupoli has scored four goals for Norwich in 13 games

Norwich City's on-loan striker Arturo Lupoli says he will leave the club if he continues to be left out.

The Italian, on loan from Fiorentina till the end of the season, has not started a league game since November.

"There are clubs interested in me," the 21-year-old told BBC Radio Norfolk. "I cannot sit on the bench here. I will go somewhere else."

"I'm full of energy and want to play. I have been very patient for two or three months and now is the time to play."

The former Arsenal player arrived from Fiorentina in the summer and quickly made an impact, scoring twice after coming on a substitute to earn a 2-2 draw at Cardiff in only his fourth game for the club.

But he has only started six league games this season and has not even made the bench for some recent games, to his evident frustration.

"If it doesn't change here I will have to find something else but I really hope it will change in the next month or so," he added.
