Despite City's emphatic 6-1 victory over the Sky Blues in the League Cup, much of the attention was away from the pitch as fans tried to decipher who the man in stands was.

Many fans on Twitter seemed to think the man was striker Dame N'Doye who is currently playing for Trabzonspor in the Turkish league. The Senegal international has been linked with a move to Carrow Road.

Anita Byrne-Phillips tweeted: 'My son said N'Doye straight away I said nah!! I also said surely he would be in the directors box not in stands?'

Adam Carey said: 'Looks like N'Doye in the Norwich Directors box this evening.'

And Sam Jermy added: 'N'Doye looks to be sitting in the stands tonight. Now time to find my 'I bet we get N'Doye on loan last minute' tweet.'

But some fans were convinced that it was not the former Hull City forward.

Lewis said: 'That random guy looks nothing like Dame N'Doye.'

The Mighty Fritz tweeted: 'That is not N'Doye, don't know who it is.'

And Jamie Burgum just simply put: 'Not N'Doye.'

When asked during his post-match press conference if N'Doye was at Carrow Road, Alex Neil said: 'If he was that is news to me.'

The speculation comes after French defender Jérôme Onguéné was spotted in the stands by fans during Norwich City's goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

Neil said the Sochaux centre-back and his advisors travelled to Norfolk for a fact-finding mission.
