Some Arsenal fans were left feeling excited after reports emerged over their transfer for Emiliano Buendia.

According to The Sun, the Gunners have made a £30m+ bid for the Argentine attacking midfielder. However, the publication claims Aston Villa have also made a similar offer.

The bid won’t be enough to prize the ace from Carrow Road with the Canaries demanding £40m. The star’s former club, Getafe, have a 20% sell-on clause in the player’s contract

Norwich are said to have accepted that the 24-year-old is likely to leave this summer.

The South American has been called-up to the Argentina squad for the first time for this month’s World Cup qualifiers and Copa America.
