Reported Arsenal target Emiliano Buendia is believed to have a £25million price tag, according to Eurosport.

Football London reported in December that the Norwich ace is on Arsenal’s transfer shortlist and that manager Mikel Arteta is a big admirer of the player.

A source close to the player reportedly told the outlet that Buendia is “focused on Norwich and getting promoted”.

However, he has refused to rule out a possible January move saying that “it depends” on the Championship club.

Eurosport has claimed that Arsenal need a new creative midfielder and “will focus all their attention on making it happen”.

With Dominik Szoboszlai having joined RB Leipzig and Houssem Aouar reportedly no longer a top target, the Gunners hierarchy’s attention has apparently turned to other players.

And alongside Real Madrid’s Isco, Buendia has been named as a potential top target, though Eurosport claims £15million is “optimistic” and £25million is more what suitors should expect to pay.

TBR View:

Buendia is a high-calibre player who has shown he can deliver in the Premier League, and better still, he seems keen on a move back to the top flight – music to the ears of fans whose teams have been linked with him.

Norwich boss Daniel Farke said in the summer that the Argentine now “finds himself on a different level” and surely it’s only a matter of time before he moves to a top club – he’d certainly be an asset for Arsenal.
