Only Trent Alexander-Arnold and De Bruyne have registered more assists in the Premier League than Buendia this season.
READ NORWICH VERDICT
Buendia has been excellent in the Premier League. The creative stats prove how effective he has been in the final third for Norwich, ranking second in the entire division for key passes made as well – only behind De Bruyne.
Buendia has consistently been a creative threat for Norwich and he is mixing it with the big boys at the top end of the table in terms of stats – despite Norwich sitting bottom of the league.
This suggests that Buendia could deserve a move back to the Premier League if Norwich are relegated this summer, due to his impressive stats.
One thing he is missing, however, is goals. He is yet to score his first goal in the top-flight, after scoring eight in the Championship. If he is able to find his goalscoring touch whilst maintaining his creativity, he could be a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.
