Barcelona higher-ups were at the London Stadium on Monday night for the Premier League encounter between West Ham and Chelsea.

Celebrated Spanish sports daily Marca has reported that sporting director Robert Fernandez and scout Urbano Ortega were among the 56,984 spectators at the London Stadium.

Victor Moses, who was linked with a move to Barcelona before extending his contract last week, started for the Blues and gave a good account of himself before he was replaced in the 75th minute.

However, the Spanish newspaper has speculated that the La Liga champions came to observe Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Alonso and Nemanja Matic at close quarters, and not the Nigeria international.

Another Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi missed the opportunity to display his wares when Fernandez and Ortega visited the Emirates Stadium for the Champions League meeting between Arsenal and Bayern Munich due to illness.
