Norwich City FC new signing Emiliano Marcondes has praised Aston Villa star Emiliano Buendia, describing him as a "very good player." The 29-year-old Danish midfielder joined the Canaries after a spell without a club following the expiration of his contract with Premier League side Bournemouth.
Marcondes made his Norwich debut at Carrow Road earlier this month, contributing to a convincing 4-0 victory over Hull City in a league match. The former Bournemouth player expressed admiration for Buendia, stating, "I played against him a few times. [He is] a very good player," during an interview with BBC Radio Norfolk.
Buendia, the 27-year-old Argentine attacking midfielder, has only featured for 13 minutes in league action this season as he works on regaining match fitness following an injury. Despite limited playing time, he has captained the Villans in two domestic cup matches this term.
During his time with Norwich City, Buendia was a pivotal figure, and Marcondes will need to showcase his skills to secure a longer contract with the Canaries or elsewhere next summer. This information was brought to fans by Inside Futbol, a platform dedicated to providing comprehensive football news and updates.
As Norwich City continues their campaign in the 2024/2025 season, the club looks to build momentum with new talents like Marcondes on board.
