It has been formally confirmed. Wes wants out. After a frustrating first half of the season, Norwich City have confirmed that Hoolahan put in a transfer request. They have rejected it.
In response to the reports, Hoolahan issued a statement saying he believes it's in everyone's best interest that he leaves.
"Following a meeting with the CEO (David McNally) I felt I had no option but to hand in a transfer request...I have noted that request has been turned down - however I believe it's in the best interest of Norwich, for whom I have the greatest respect, and myself that I am allowed to move on and play my football elsewhere."

Hoolahan has already been the subject of a bid from Aston VIlla earlier this month. We'll find out over the next nine days whether he'll be at a new club for the rest of the season or whether he'll be stewing in Carrow Road for a few months yet.
