Arsenal’s quest to add creativity to their squad in January has taken them to Norwich City in the Championship. But they might have to break the bank to secure their target.According to Sportslens, the Gunners are interested in Canaries star Emiliano Buendia and are eager to secure his services in the winter. However, Norwich want £40m for the Argentine.Buendia started his career with Getafe, rising through the ranks and making his debut for the club in 2014. He made the move to Carrow Road in the summer of 2018 and enjoyed a fantastic debut season.The Argentine made 41 appearances for the Canaries, scoring eight goals and helping his team earn promotion to the Premier League.After an underwhelming 2019/20 season, Buendia has hit top form once again this term, scoring seven goals in 19 appearances in all competitions so far.That has attracted interest from the Gunners, who have lacked a creative edge in their squad this season. Arsenal are currently 11th in the table after 17 games but are recovering from a terrible run of form that saw them go winless in 10 games.It is clear why Arteta feels Buendia could make a difference at the Emirates. Besides scoring goals, the Argentine has also notched up seven assists this season and could be the answer to Arsenal’s creative woes.Emiliano Buendia is ‘one of the options’ into Arsenal list. #AFC board are now focused on selling/loaning out players [Sokratis, Özil after Kolasinac] and then they’ll work to new signings.No official talks started yet with Norwich - Arsenal will decide their strategy soon ⚪️🔴— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 4, 2021However, after selling Ben Godfrey and Jamal Lewis earlier in the summer, the Canaries are under no financial pressure at the moment. As such, securing Buendia’s services might not be easy for Arsenal because Norwich City might be unwilling to budge from their valuation of the player.Arsenal contemplating a player-plus-cash offer for BuendiaEmiliano BuendiaArsenal are not ready to meet Norwich City’s demands but could attempt to sweeten the offer by offering Reiss Nelson in a player-plus-cash deal. The Gunners have reportedly held talks with the player’s representatives, and a deal cannot be ruled out yet.However, it is also true that the London side have to sell a few of their current players to clear up space for any potential arrival.No official approach from Arsenal for Emi Buendia as of yet. Difficult one to make happen. Funds are tight at #AFC and Buendia has a contract until 2024. Norwich are financially sound after sales of Godfrey & Lewis and are pleased with application of Buendia this season.— Mark Mann-Bryans (@MarkyMBryans) January 4, 2021The Gunners will also need to generate funds to land Buendia from Carrow Road. However, in case a deal fails to materialize, Arsenal have lined up alternate options. The Gunners will then consider short term deals for Paris-Saint Germain star Julian Draxler and Real Madrid midfielder Isco.
