Bio
Emiliano Buendía has become a firm fan favourite since joining Aston Villa in the summer of 2021. Endearing himself immediately to Villa supporters for his work-rate and quality, Buendía made 37 appearances in his first season at Villa Park.
He followed that up by featuring in all 41 of Villa's games in 2022/23, scoring five goals and registering three assists.
Buendía spent three years with Norwich City before joining Villa, winning two Championship titles and picking up the EFL Championship Player of the Year award after a sparkling 2020/21 season. The Argentine made 121 appearances in East Anglia, scoring 24 goals and notching 42 assists after joining from Getafe in 2018.
A Real Madrid player in his youth, Buendía was called up by Argentina’s senior squad for the first time in June 2021. He made his debut for his country in February 2022, coming on a second-half substitute against Colombia.
