READ NORWICH VERDICT
There were some worries about whether or not Todd Cantwell’s end product was good enough, yet, for the Premier League. This was due to the fact he only managed one goal and two assists in the Championship for Norwich last season.
However, Cantwell is already showing signs of progress – matching his tally for assists after only two games this term. The attacking midfielder is showing more courage on the ball, wanting to get past his man and create chances, whereas last season he tended to play the safe ball more often than not.
This is clearly an area of his game he has been working hard on over the summer, and it appears to be paying off for the young man.
