Dusan Tadic provided his 24th Premier League assist in Southampton's 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion and since joining in August 2014 only Cesc Fabregas (32), Mesut Ozil (30) and Christian Eriksen (26) have more.
But Claude Puel insists the Serbian playmaker can still improve and must score himself more often.
Tadic has found the net 14 times in the Premier League but only three times this season and the Southampton manager said: 'Dusan's first part of the season was difficult, it was slow but he came back with spirit. He takes the play and gives a good assist.
