"When Alan Pardew took charge of Crystal Palace, he widely praised Jason Puncheon. The 28-year-old has established himself as one of the Eagles’ most important players since Pardew took over the reins at Selhurst Park, with his redeployment into the middle of the park benefitting not only the player, but the team as a whole.

While Leighton Baines and Christian Eriksen have been commended for their set-piece ability, Puncheon has perhaps proved beyond doubt that he is currently the unrivalled dead ball expert in England’s top tier. No player scored more goals from direct free kicks in the Premier League this season than Puncheon (3).

Puncheon also played more key passes from set-pieces (34) than any other player, with 5 of his 7 assists coming from dead ball situations this campaign also representing an impressive return for the midfielder. Depending on how Palace invest over the summer, Puncheon can be expected to build on those figures as he looks to maintain his fine form under Pardew."
