# Aston Villa: Fans react to Lee Hendrie’s Emi Buendia transfer suggestion

**Plenty of Aston Villa supporters have been reacting on social media to Lee Hendrie’s latest transfer comments.**

The former Villa midfielder, talking to [Football FanCast](https://www.footballfancast.com/aston-villa-news/exclusive-lee-hendrie-urges-aston-villa-to-look-at-emiliano-buendia-transfers-arsenal-jack-grealish-e62) – cited by [Birmingham Live](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-transfer-johan-lange-20271728) – urged the club to go after Norwich City’s Emi Buendia this summer, saying:

> “Buendia from Norwich, he’s one that I would certainly have a big push on.
>
> “He’s creative and scores goals, he’s a player that I feel would be a fabulous addition to Villa.”

The 24-year-old was [linked](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/emi-buendia-to-arsenal-transfer-19636285) with Arsenal during the January transfer window, but with the Canaries slapping a £40m price tag on the creative midfielder, a return to the Premier League never materialised.

Buendia has starred at Carrow Road back in the Championship this season, [scoring 10 times and registering 13 assists in 31 games in the second tier](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emiliano-buendia/leistungsdaten/spieler/321247).

The right winger has made more than [100](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emiliano-buendia/leistungsdaten/spieler/321247) appearances for the club, but if Hendrie had his way, Johan Lange would be looking to lure the Argentine to the Midlands ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

**“Yes please. And one more quality winger. You’d then have to ship out 2 of either AEG, Trez or Bert”**
