Think I'm correct in saying Udinese's chief scout moved to Sunderland last summer? In which case this guy was probably a target of Udinese's before Sunderland got him?
Current Sunderland chief scout was in the Udinese's scouting network yes. Not as chief (the chief scout at Udine is Andrea Carnevale AFAIK). Interesting article: http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/black-white-udinese-team-set-4281100
