It has been reported that Norwich – who are playing in the Championship this season after getting relegated from the Premier League – are open to selling their ‘coveted assets’, including Buendia.
The Independent reported in August that Leeds, who are playing in the Premier League this season after winning automatic promotion, are interested in signing the 23-year-old attacking midfielder.
Boost for Leeds United?
With Norwich reportedly open to selling Buendia, it is certainly a massive boost for Leeds in their alleged quest to sign him.
The Whites could do with a creative player in their midfield, as Pablo Hernandez is not getting any younger.
Buendia is only 23 years of age, and he showed last season that he can hold his own in the Premier League.
According to WhoScored, the Argentine scored one goal and provided seven assists in the Premier League last season, while during the 2018-19 campaign, he scored eight goals and provided 12 assists in the Championship for the Canaries.
