Emiliano Buendia signs five-year Aston Villa deal in £33m move from Norwich

Aston Villa's record £33m signing Emiliano Buendia has been welcomed as a "great addition" by boss Dean Smith after signing a five-year deal.

Buendia, 24, scored 15 goals and racked up 16 assists last season, helping the Canaries win the Championship title.

"We are delighted to have made such an exciting signing so early in the summer," said Smith.

"Emiliano is equally capable as a wide attacker or as a number 10 and is a great addition to our attacking options."

Buendia made a total of 121 appearances in all competitions and scored 24 goals following his arrival at Norwich from Getafe for £1.
