  Three-quarters of Premier League clubs have sent scouts to the Africa Cup of Nations as the chase for the continent's finest talent intensifies. Despite calls for it to be switched to the summer, a BBC Sport survey has discovered 15 of the 20 clubs are scouting at the Ghana tournament. "You know when you're buying an African player that's the rule," Chelsea chief scout Frank Arnesen told BBC Sport. "You have to deal with that and it's a must for us to be at the Nations Cup."
