‘Hell of a signing’, QSI trying to get him – Many Leeds fans react to ‘incredible’ transfer link
Leeds United fans have been reacting to the report from Read Norwich that their club has made an enquiry for 23-year-old attacker Emiliano Buendia.
It’s been a season to forget back in the top-flight for the Canaries but Buendia has caught the eye – and Leeds have a history of sorts with him.
Before he moved to Norwich in the summer of 2018, he was on loan at Leeds sister club Cultural Leonesa.
Leeds fans couldn’t believe that they’d missed out on a player who was right under their noses, especially as Buendia is exactly the sort of player that Marcelo Bielsa needed at the time.
There were rumours that Buendia was going to join Leeds at the time but he was bought by Norwich for the paltry sum of £1.35m and went on to boost their promotion to the Premier League with 12 assists and eight goals.
Buendia has found it harder in the Premier League but has still chipped in with seven assists in a side that’s struggling at the bottom of the league.
Norwich look nailed on to go down. Leeds are massive favourites to go up. A move for Buendia would make sense but he will cost way more than Norwich paid for him.
One Norwich fan claimed he’d go for £15m – which is around the price that Leeds are set to pay for Helder Costa. Buendia is classed as a right-winger but can play on either flank or through the middle.
He’s under contract until 2024 but is only reportedly on £8k-a-week at Norwich so his salary wouldn’t be an issue.
The majority of Leeds fans are very high on the move as well – here are the best of the reactions on Twitter…
