James Maddison has created MORE CHANCES this season than ANY player from Europe's top 5 leagues.

Yes, that's right.

The former Coventry City youngster moved to Norwich City at the end of the 2015-16 campaign.

He had actually joined the Canaries in January, before being loaned back to the Sky Blues as Tony Mowbray aimed for promotion to the Championship.

The former Caludon Castle School pupil spent time on loan at Aberdeen last season.

But he has taken the second tier by storm this term, becoming an integral part of the Carrow Road outfit's plans.

Maddison has created an astonishing 54 chances, more than any player from the Premier League, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Serie A and La Liga.

The youngster beat Ollie Watkins, with 48, to the top spot.

Brentford star Watkins boasts one more chance created than QPR star Luke Freeman, and seven more than fourth place Romaine Sawyers, also of the Bees.

Jamie Paterson, from Bristol City, has 39.

Daniel Farke's men remain in touching distance of the play-offs and Maddison has enjoyed a terrific start to the season.

The Sky Blues Academy graduate won the Championship's Goal of the Month for his strike against Middlesbrough in September, before scoring the winner in the East Anglian derby, making him one of the hottest young prospects in English football.
