Leeds United have been linked with a move for Norwich City playmaker Emi Buendia, which has drawn an excited response from fans of the Yorkshire club. 

The 23-year-old was integral in helping the Canaries secure promotion to the Premier League last term, scoring eight goals and contributing 17 assists in all competitions.

Buendia has been impressive in the final third once again this term, grabbing seven assists for a Norwich side that are battling for their top-flight survival.

The Canaries may struggle to hold onto the Argentine if they're relegated this term and it appears Leeds are keen to snap him up.

According to Read Norwich, the Whites have enquired about signing Buendia.

The report claims that the response of the Premier League club and their player is unknown at this point but it could be one worth watching if the two sides swap divisions this summer.

It may be tough for the Yorkshire club, however, as Liverpool have also been linked with Buendia this season.

Leeds are second in the Championship and with a seven-point gap over the play-offs, are frontrunners for promotion this term.

It appears they're looking at the 23-year-old as a potential summer addition, though you feel they will have to stump up significantly more than the £1.5 million the Canaries are understood to have paid Getafe for him in 2018.

The Yorkshire club could be eyeing him up as a potential replacement for playmaker Pablo Hernandez, who has been a key creative force for them in recent years but is 35 now.
