NORWICH’S Chilean star Marcelino Nunez is being watched by Spanish giants Sevilla.
The midfielder only joined the Canaries from Universidad Catolica in the summer but is already on the radar of the La Liga club.
Sevilla sent senior scout Jose Manuel Santos Hernandez to check out the 22-year-old, who has 10 caps to his name, last week as they consider a move for the South American.
Meanwhile, Norwich may send Republic of Ireland striker Adam Idah out on loan in the New Year after his progress has been stalled by injury.
Derby County boss Paul Warne is a fan of the target man and tried to land him in his Rotherham days, so may go in again.
Sevilla’s interest in Nunez comes as the Spaniards surprisingly struggle – lying fourth bottom in LaLiga and level on points with the drop zone.

Former Chile and Argentina manager Jorge Sampaoli was appointed boss for a second time on October 6.
That followed the sacking of Julen Lopetegui, who is now being targeted by Wolves for a THIRD time this month.
The Spanish coach rejected the chance of his first taste of English football straight after Bruno Lage’s axing.
But although Wolves looked at old boss Nuno Espirito Santo and QPR’s Michael Beale, they now hope to persuade Lopetegui to change his mind.
