‘In love with these owners’, ‘Would be huge’ – Some Villa fans react to reports of £38m signing – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Aston Villa are set to complete a club-record signing of Emiliano Buendia later today.
According to The Athletic, the Premier League side have agreed on a £38 million deal with Norwich City for the Argentine international.
The report further states that the medical has already been completed and personal terms have been agreed with the player.
Norwich have managed to include a 10% sell-on clause in the player’s contract as well.
The midfielder was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal as well but Villa have managed to beat them to the 24-year-old’s signing.
The Argentine midfielder has been in exceptional form for Norwich this past season and he has 15 goals and 17 assists to his name in all competitions.
Dean Smith needed to add more quality in the final third and the arrival of Buendia will help share the workload with Jack Grealish.
The England international has been the main source of creativity for the West Midlands club over the past few seasons.
Buendia will add technical ability and flair to the side along with goals and assists. It will be interesting to see if he can form a quality attacking partnership with the likes of Grealish and Ollie Watkins next season.
Some of the Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to share their reaction to Buendia’s arrival and here is what they had to say.
I’m actually in love with these owners they get things done so much quicker. like think how long it took us to sign Watkins last year and then as soon as they came in it was done! Love it UTV

If we beat Arsenal to this signing that would be huge for us but we need 100% confirmation before getting too excited. Either way this shows our intent so we’ve get every reason to be full of enthusiasm for the next season!!! UTV
