Norwich City playmaker Emiliano Buendia has told Sky Sports that he is happy at the club amid links to Leeds United.

The Canaries suffered relegation on Saturday afternoon, as they were hammered 4-0 by West Ham United with Michail Antonio scoring all four goals.

Daniel Farke must now try and plan for a promotion bid next season, and much of that will depend on who he can keep at Carrow Road.

Full backs Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis will attract interest, as will defender Ben Godfrey and playmaker Todd Cantwell, whilst Buendia is already wanted.

Read Norwich reported in June that Leeds United have already asked about a potential deal for Buendia as they prepare for their potential promotion.

Buendia was wanted by Leeds when he was at Cultural Leonesa, but Norwich beat them to his signature in 2018, and it’s no great shock that he’s now on their radar again.

The Argentinian playmaker has racked up 81 key passes in the Premier League this season, level with Trent Alexander-Arnold and behind only Jack Grealish and Kevin De Bruyne.

Now, Buendia has responded to rumours about his future by stating that he is happy at Norwich and is grateful to everyone around the club, suggesting that he would be content with staying despite the interest.

“I would say that I’m happy here,” said Buendia. “When I came from Spain, with the people, with the club, with the city, everyone helped me a lot at the beginning. I have a contract here, I am happy here, I hope the club, the team and obviously the fans get back to the Premier League as soon as possible,” he added.
