French fullback Louis Gomis had a trial with the Canaries in the first week of September 2001. Norwich opted not to pursue their interest in Gomis or fellow triallist Elie Kroupi. Louis spent 1991-1997 at Nice before joining Bordeaux. After a spell in Belgium with Lommel, Louis signed for bankrupt Toulouse in 1999 where he played with Marc Libbra. He moved to Germany in 2001/02 signing for Nurnberg before moving on to Duisberg on 7th January 2002 - although he is reported to have had a trial with Aberdeen in February 2002.
