Aston Villa have announced they’ve reached a £40million agreement to sign Norwich star Emiliano Buendia.
The midfielder is currently on international duty with Argentina and is set to have his medical before completing his move to Villa on Tuesday after a World Cup qualifying game against Colombia.
As Sportsmail reported over the weekend, Villa had moved ahead of Arsenal in the battle to secure Buendia’s signature after agreeing to pay £33m plus add ons up to £40m and include a sell-on percentage.
Norwich midfielder Emiliano Buendia will sign for Aston Villa on Tuesday after his medical
The news will come as a huge blow to Arsenal and Mikel Arteta, who had identified Buendia as a key target this summer as he looks to rebuild after an underwhelming campaign.
Villa, who confirmed that the Argentine will sign on the dotted line on Tuesday, are bracing themselves for a bid for their star midfielder Jack Grealish.
