Aston Villa are reportedly expected to complete the appointment of Norwich City boss Paul Lambert in the next 24 hours.
The 42-year-old is believed to be closing in on a move to Villa Park, despite having his resignation request rejected by the former Championship club.
Following a reported disagreement with the Canaries' hierarchy, it is understood that there is no way back for the Scotsman, who could put pen to paper on a Villa contract today, according to Sky Sports News.
Reports have claimed that if Lambert does complete a move, the Midlands club will hold a press conference next Wednesday or Thursday.
