Norwich scouts attend Champions League clash

Norwich City scouts were in attendance as Napoli faced Benfica in the Champions League on Wednesday night, according to Sport Witness.

They witnessed a classic, as Napoli won 4-2 against the Portuguese giants in Naples.

Dries Mertens netted twice for Napoli, with Milik and Marek Hamsik scoring the other goals for the home side.

Eduardo Salvio and Gonzalo Guedes scored the goals for Benfica.

With Norwich having been relegated to the Championship last season – it is odd to see their scouts looking at players in a Champions League match.

Although, Kalidou Koulibaly – who was linked to Norwich last summer – played at the heart of the defence for Napoli. And, Norwich have already had dealings with Benfica this summer after they signed Nelson Oliveira.

Premier League side Everton were also in attendance, and were thought to be watching Manolo Gabbiadini for Napoli – who they were heavily linked to during the summer.
