Gunners' Buendia stance revealed
Arsenal were 'seriously' interested in Emi Buendia, football.london understands.
Aston Villa look set to sign Buendia after the Midlands club matched the Gunners' £30million offer for the Argentine playmaker.
At this stage, it's unclear whether the north London club launched a second bid for the Norwich City star, however, it is evident that Villa's proposal appealed to Buendia more than Arsenal's.
Martin Odegaard remains the main target for the Gunners as Mikel Arteta looks to bring him back to the Emirates Stadium following his loan spell in the second half of last season.
