Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is serious about Norwich City attacker Emi Buendia.

The Independent says Arteta is a big admirer of the Argentinian and is keen to bring him to the Emirates.

Buendia could provide some much-needed creativity and fluidity to his side, and Arteta is considering offering a player in return plus cash.

Joe Willock and Reiss Nelson are among the players Arsenal are believed to be willing to offer Norwich.

It's said there have already been discussions with Buendia about a potential deal, although it is still considered to be some way off.

Norwich would want at least £40m, but it is felt a player like Willock or Nelson could tempt the Championship leaders to cash in.
