A look at Chris Hughton's past Premier League signings

Does Hughton get much say as we have a recruitment team ? No idea who was responsible at Norwich for signings.

Michaël Seri, Ricardo Pereira and Wylan Cyprien have had good seasons at Nice. Might be under the radar enough for us even though they're having a stand out season in lige 1. Their goalkeeper Cardinale is highly rated too. Monaco are only meant to be letting a couple of players go and


Alarmingly Ricky van Wolfswinkel is the joint second top scorer in the Eridivisie with 18 goals...

Hakim Ziyech from Ajax would be immense.

I thought it'd be interesting to have a look back at Chris' previous signings when managing in the Premier League. He has had 3 seasons buying players there, 1 with Newcastle and 2 with Norwich.

Looking at the past I reckon we'll be looking to:

1. Bag a couple of frees from this list (http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/endendevertraege/wettbewerb/GB1) Obviously the top of that list is made up of players way our of our league (Cazorla, Navas, Zlatan etc. ). EDIT Perhaps some players from relegated Premier League teams - someone like Jermaine Defoe would seem like an ideal signing.

2. Pick up some top level Championship players from the past season. Tom Cairney I know has been mentioned by a few, his availability will depend a lot on what Fulham do in the play offs. Perhaps we'll be the team to try and sign Will Hughes in the Premier League. Pontus Jansson seems to be highly rated at Leeds. I'm sure there will be a lot of Championship players we're looking at.

3. Try and get lucky with some young up and coming players from Ligue 1 or the Eredivisie (Hopefully not any more Manus!). When I mean get lucky I'm sure we'll do a lot of due diligence on any signing but with these sorts of signings it seems you can never be sure how successful they'll be. Does the NSC hive have any names to throw in to the hat?

4. A standout performer from the Scottish Premier League. Moussa Dembele is a wonder kid and way out of our reach, perhaps Scott Sinclair or someone like Liam Boyce who has scored over 20 goals for mid table Ross County (although it's very hard to take this League seriously!)

5. A wild card signing from the MLS or Latin American leagues.

EDIT 6. A couple of high quality loans from a Premier League team such as Tammy Abraham.

I'd guess Roger and Joselu, 26 year old strikers at the top of the Spanish second division scoring chart with 21 goals a piece are possible targets judging by Hemed and Ulloa in the past.

Redmond aside, they are some pretty bog standard/poor signings for Norwich

Kane got injured after 2/3 games.

I think Leroy Fer and Michael Turner are/were all good players. Also Tiote for Newcastle.

Think the Spanish leagues are ones we've definitely been keeping an eye on. Wouldn't be surprised if the club looked at those in the La Liga a bit more now, someone like Gerard Moreno from Espanyol would be ideal.
