Ex-Aston Villa favourite urges club to splash £40m on Championship star

Aston Villa manager Dean Smith and the club’s transfer guru Johan Lange have been urged to go splash the cash this summer on Norwich City playmaker Emiliano Buendia.

In quotes carried by the Birmingham Mail, former Villa midfielder Lee Hendrie has urged the Villains to make their mark in the transfer window this summer for the club to progress beyond a mid-table finish next season.

“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.”

“So the two players out of the Championship, they are two I’d certainly have my eyes on.”

Norwich are almost certainly set for automatic promotion as they lead the Championship comfortably, and as such it will be increasingly difficult to prize the Argentine away from Carrow Road. Buendia’s numbers of 10 goals and 13 assists this term will have caught the gaze of many top clubs.
