Despite Buendia’s links with Arsenal, the winger is poised to sign for Aston Villa for a fee rumoured to be worth around £35 million.
As Charles Watts reported earlier today, Arsenal’s opening bid was turned down whilst Villa are reportedly in advanced talk with Norwich.
The Canaries are used to losing a few star players, for example last summer, as Norwich pocketed a cool £25 million for the sale of Ben Godfrey as the defender moved to Everton. However, the sale of Buendia will trump their previous record.
Having recently earned his first Argentina call-up, Buendia looks set to light up the Premier League on his second attempt previously facing relegation from the top-flight with Norwich.
Capturing the winger is a sign of intent from Villa, finishing 11th in the season just gone. Dean Smith’s side will look to go one step further and make a leap towards European qualification.
Buendia was the Championship’s Player of the Season as he put another promotion on his CV, winning the league with Norwich. The 24-year-old scored a staggering 15 times and assisted 17 goals in just 39 appearances, participating in 42% of the Canaries’ goals last season.
There’s plenty for Villa fans to be excited about next season, with an announcement imminent – the transfer window is well underway at B6.
