Aston Villa and Arsenal have both reignited their interest in Norwich City star Emiliano Buendia.

That’s according to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas, and the transfer update has left many Villa fans delighted.

According to Thomas, Villa and the Gunners lead a number of clubs, including Tottenham, in the race to sign the Argentine winger.

Buendia played a starring role in helping the Canaries return to the Premier League, scoring 15 goals and registering 17 assists in 39 Championship appearances.

The 24-year-old was named as the Championship Player of the Season as a result, and it seems as if Villa are keen on his signature.

Norwich value Buendia between £35-40m, and a deal in that bracket would make him Villa’s club-record signing.

Dean Smith is looking to bolster his attacking ranks this summer, with two wide forwards thought to be on the agenda.

Villa fans react
