Villa have signed Emi Buendia for a reported £33 million from promoted Norwich
The Argentinian winger is fresh off scoring 15 goals and getting 16 assists in the Championship.
This proved to be an vital part in Norwich winning the second division to return to the Premier League.
The 23-year-old has impressed on Norwich’s right wing for the last three seasons and has shown his quality as a playmaker and goal scorer.
