Without the Argentine playmaker, Norwich was missing a key figure, a figure that had a strong hand in their promotion. He pulled the strings and suppled the goods and formed a great partnership with striker Teemu Pukki and midfielder, Todd Cantwell.
The Kosovo international can operate in all of Buendia’s positions and more and is a real goalscoring threat. He has been linked with Premier League clubs in the past, most noticeably, Villa and Wolves.
Milot Rashica on his move to Norwich City:
"I know a few things about the club, particularly the style of play under Daniel Farke. I want to continue to learn and develop as a player and person and I think that the style of play here will suit me very well.I have spoken with the boss and I know what he wants to see from me. Those conversations with him recently have been a big help and I am very excited.“I’ve watched many Norwich City games in the Premier League. It has always been a dream, for me to play in the Premier League and I’m so happy that Norwich have given me this great opportunity. (Via: canaries.co.uk)"
Rashica has six seasons of professional football under his belt between the Dutch Eredivisie and the German Bundesliga, despite only being 24 years old – he scored 34 career goals and has another 28 assists.
The Canaries are far from done
Norwich plans to do a lot of business this summer with their intentions on staying up in the English top-flight. They will look to add quality names to their squad. One player said to be a priority is young Chelsea and Scotland midfielder, Billy Gilmour.
