It's not the fact that they might want him that surprises me, but I would be surprised if they made an offer substantial enough to make that happen. Afterall, they paid £300k for Crofts whereas they would have to bid at least seven times that to get Bennett.I would be surprised if Norwich want a player wholly unproven above League One for their first season back in the Premier League.
However, it is possible. And if Norwich make that sort of offer and Bennett leaves, then maybe we can infer that a gentleman's agreement was in place between our club and the player shortly after the January shenanigans.
