Former Norwich City midfielder David Fox has highlighted the exceptional talent of Canaries forward Borja Sainz, asserting he is the team's standout player with "individual magic" in the final third. As Norwich City look to build on their recent success, winning their last two matches and scoring seven goals, Sainz has been instrumental, netting four of those goals.
Sainz's impressive performance included a hat-trick in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Derby County at Pride Park, a venue recognised for its challenging atmosphere. Fox pointed out that Norwich City had lost several key players during the summer transfer window, specifically mentioning the departures of Gabriel Sara and Jonathan Rowe, which he believes has impacted the squad's ability to create opportunities.
Fox shared his thoughts on BBC Radio Norfolk, stating, “They have lost some very good individual players in the summer. He [Sainz] is probably the one player on the pitch who has that little bit of individual magic about him, especially in the final third.” He added that Sainz seems to have taken on a leadership role in the team, significantly influencing their attacking play.
As Norwich City prepare to face Leeds United on Tuesday night in another crucial Championship fixture, all eyes will be on Sainz to maintain his current form and continue his impact on the pitch.
