TBR View: Fantastic early statement if Arsenal land Buendia

꧃It does appear that there is some work to do before Arsenal complete a deal and win the race for Buendia.

🥂However, it is an incredibly promising sign that they have acted so swiftly.

ꦰIt would be a surprise if more sides were not interested in the 24-year-old. He scored 15 goals and contributed 16 assists last season.

✃He was the best player in the Championship having previously impressed in the top flight.

⭕Arsenal need to add greater quality to their ranks in that final third this summer.

🙈It remains to be seen if Martin Odegaard returns after his promising loan spell.

꧋But if they miss out, Buendia would arguably be an amazing alternative target to land.
