Aston Villa boss Smith: Buendia knows he can do more

Aston Villa boss Dean Smith admits he wants more from summer signing Emi Buendia.

Smith was today asked about Buendia, who joined the club in a £33m deal from Norwich City.

Along with Leon Bailey and Danny Ings, the Argentine, who has scored once since moving to the Midlands, is seen as one of the players brought in to fill the void left by Jack Grealish's departure to Manchester City.

"We know the qualities that he's got, the pass that he put through for Danny Ings in the first half [against Wolves] is why he attracted us so much," said Smith.

“There is a lot more to come, and he will be the first to say that."
