Norwich may have been relegated after finishing bottom of the Premier League but the Canaries look set to spark a new trend.
The Norfolk club last week announced details of a new strategic football partnership with top-flight Brazilian side Coritiba. Mirror Football understands the partnership will allow the Canaries access to some top South American talent.
Now moves are already underway among several other Premier League clubs to copy Norwich. Manchester City have long since been established as the leading Premier League club in South America with several permanent scouts which have helped them bring over Brazilian teenager Kayky and identify the likes of Argentine Julián Álvarez.
