Alves a talent for the future - Clement

[Getty Images] New Norwich City defender Bruno Alves impressed boss Philippe Clement after playing his first minutes for the Canaries in a pre-season friendly against Kings Lynn Town on Saturday. The 20-year-old joined the Canaries on a season-long loan from Brazilian side Cruzeiro in June for his first taste of English football. "What you saw today is somebody with a lot of football qualities, really calm on the ball, intelligent," Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk. "We are really pleased with the way he adapts already in the first week. "He looks a talented boy for the future and of course, it's going to take time to adapt to things, but he's showing the right mentality." Norwich have made three signings this summer including forward Andre Brooks and a three-year contract for Sam Field from QPR, as well as a new deal for captain Kenny McLean. "We did three transfers so it's a lot compared to other teams," Clement added. "A lot of good work has been done already so we aren't going to do many transfers and I'm happy about that."
