Borja Sainz has emerged as the standout performer in the Championship for the 2024/2025 season, already scoring 11 goals in just 13 appearances for Norwich City FC. The Spanish winger has become a vital player for the Canaries, significantly contributing to the team's performance this season.
According to Sky Sports, Sainz has not only carried his team through matches but has also showcased his goal-scoring prowess, averaging a goal every 104 minutes from his wide position. His impressive tally is at least three goals more than any other player in the league so far.
Reflecting on his success, Sainz attributes his form to increased confidence. He stated, "I think it's all because I have more confidence... This year I was able to prepare in the summer to stay strong in the league, and I think the confidence I have is the most important thing for me." His commitment to improving is evident, as he explained that last season’s injury hampered his potential.
The young winger's contributions come at a crucial time for Norwich City FC, particularly following the departures of key players like Jonathan Rowe and Gabriel Sara. Sainz has seized the opportunity to become a pivotal figure in the squad.
Sainz expressed his happiness regarding his role at Norwich. "I'm so happy with the team, with the coach, with everything at the club," he commented. His positive experience in the city and strong connection with the fans have further motivated him to excel on the pitch. "The football here is different... The fans support when you're at home, but also when you go away. It is so helpful to the team," he added.
With ambitions of playing in the Premier League, Sainz remains focused on his current performance. "I like to stay in the moment, and just do what I can right now to help the team with more goals or more assists," he explained. As Norwich City FC continues their campaign in the Championship, fans will be keen to see how Sainz's form unfolds in the upcoming matches, including the live match against Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night at 7.45 PM, available on Sky Sports+.
