I think people over simplify what "real scouts" do.
One sat near me on Saturday and he was drawing players positions and movements on sheets of A4 but he spent most of his time sketching out the penalty area 6 yard box etc on countless bits of paper.
He would have been better watching on the box at home .

More likely a match scout then a player scout. Determining player movement, how to counter it, how team sets up for defence, set pieces ect. You dont get that of the tele, on a corner for example you get 6 yd box on tv, but not how they set further out to break away
 
If this comes off and it's actually a player worth signing (which is doubtful) kudos to the club for keeping it under wraps.

There aren't that many players it could be- foreign striker who has played in the Premier League before- and certainly few who have been successful.
Thinking about it,
Kramaric
Vela
Jovetic
van Wolfswinkel
Kalinic
Caiceido
van Persie are about the only names I can come up with
