Pukki’s signing was an altogether different process to that of Argentine Emi Buendia, who also arrived last summer. A deal for the attacking midfielder was secured in January 2018 ahead of the 2018-19 season, meaning Webber already knew he had a replacement for Maddison before the Englishman left. Whereas Pukki’s progress had been monitored by Webber for some time, Buendia was identified by two data specialists on Norwich’s recruitment staff.

Buendia’s name was flagged due to the number of clear goalscoring chances he was creating for a struggling team. He was aggressive, only 5ft7 tall, and considered a little overweight, but it was realised if he had a proper centre forward in front of him, he might be viewed somewhat differently.
