Arsenal and Aston Villa are prepared to face off in a battle to land Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City this summer.
Reports claim that both Premier League outfits have made bids for the attacking midfielder, but Sportsmail understands that the Championship winners have not received any offers for their star man.
However, the Canaries expect to having to fend off interest, despite their upcoming return to the Premier League. Should Buendia depart, a percentage sell-on is due to his former club Getafe
The Gunners recently opened talks over a move for Buendia as they look to head off competition from Villa.
