Norwich City boss Daniel Farke was delighted with his new signings for their 6-0 Carabao Cup win against Bournemouth.
But Farke insisted a Christos Tzolis-inspired 6-0 League Cup win over Bournemouth does not give him a Premier League selection headache.
Farke made 10 changes to his line up, including full debuts for summer signings Tzolis and Josh Sargent, and the duo grabbed a brace apiece to push their claims to feature against Leicester City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Kenny McLean and Lukas Rupp were also on target for a first win of the new season, following top flight defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.
“We can say our young lads have proved they can play against Championship opponents. But we have to be careful. The Premier League is a different animal," warned Farke. “It is a different class of opponent, so I will not praise too much, but several of our signings showed their potential.
“People were maybe critical of Josh Sargent's goalscoring record, or that Brandon Williams has not been involved much for Manchester United, or Tzolis is a 19 year old from the Greek league. They still have to show they can deliver this at Premier League level. I am not over-the-moon in the same way I was not really disappointed at losing to two of the best sides in the world. We have shown there is a lot of potential. I am pretty sure when the young players have adapted further we can put a good team on the pitch."
