Finally, Fruk's going nowhere until the summer unless someone's paying a LOT of money as he wants game time ahead of WC. If there's the estimation that he is an EPL top four player widely held amongst recruitment teams, then there's a Mo Salah shaped hole that might be perfect for him.

It's also fair to note that most scouts made a weekend of it by going to see Jagusic the evening before (though Jagusic isn't a Bara client) so if Fruk was on, say, Arsenal's radar, Jagusic will have been as well.

It's fair to note that there were a small army of English scouts from various clubs at Rijeka-Hajduk (where, y'know Fruk had a 32 min hat trick) so there absolutely is solid business reason for Bara to be offering wares in London
