I very much doubt they send reporters to bread and youth games

But if the 18s or 21s went deep into one of their competitions, I'm sure they would. There's close to zero interest in how the 21s do against Bromley apart from maybe a sideline that Duffy played.

You also have to factor in the club he's being linked to. There's not many Norwich players that get linked to Barca!
