According to Sky Sports journalist, Kaveh Solhekol, Arsenal are ‘watching closely’ the situation of Norwich City midfielder Emiliano Buendia this month.

The Gunners may look to sign an attacking midfielder in January following the departure of Mesut Ozil, and they have earmarked Buendia as a potential option.

However, Solhekol claims that he has been told that Buendia is focussed on his career at Carrow Road at the moment. The Canaries are top of the Championship table, and he has not been distracted by reports linking him with the north London club.

The 24-year-old has impressed heavily this season, managing seven goals and six assists in the Championship thus far.

The Sky Sports journalist claims that the Gunners need to pay a ‘crazy’ transfer fee, something in the region of £40-50 million to bring him to north London.

Arsenal would need to offer in the region of £40m-£50m to tempt Norwich into selling midfielder Emi Buendia..
