5m on deadline day last summer, and despite some excitement surrounding the emergence of a young attacking talent who scored 10 goals and provided 3 assists in 44 matches last season, this fee surprised many people
The Welshman’s start to life in north London was not easy, and he was even described as “disappointing” by Gary Neville in a match against Manchester United a few months later
However, as the season progressed, the 23-year-old seemed to grow in confidence and fans began to see more of what he could offer on the field
In total, the Nottingham-born winger made 34 appearances for the Lilywhites, in which he scored five goals and provided 10 assists
