A reported Arsenal target did it again on Saturday afternoon.

Norwich City are already going up to the Premier League but even after achieving their goal, some of the Canaries players continue to impress.

That was certainly the case for Arsenal-linked Emiliano Buendia on Saturday.

The Argentine bagged a goal and an assist as City won 3-1 away to Queens Park Rangers.

Eurosport reported in March that Arsenal wanted the South American playmaker in January and that Edu was going to make an offer for him during the summer.

Overall, the 24-year-old has 14 goals and 17 assists in the Championship this season.

Here’s what some Arsenal fans are saying about Buendia on Twitter:

As a playmaker, Buendia will always be judged on his assists and although he has 17 in the Championship, it doesn’t mean much in terms of the Premier League.

That being said, he was a top-flight player last term and still finished the season with seven assists which, in a relegated side, isn’t all that bad.

With better players, like some at Arsenal, Buendia’s numbers will go up.

Goal reported in January that Norwich value him at £40 million and with promotion at their backs now, they don’t necessarily have to lower that.
