Arsenal have allegedly made the first move to sign Emi Buendia and West Ham now have to decide whether to act or not.

The Hammers and the Gunners are both chasing the Argentinian star’s signature according to The Sunday Mirror (May 1st, page 72) and The Sun.
It seems as though Arsenal have made the first move, however.
Football journalist Pedro Almeida has claimed the Gunners have made a €23 million (£20 million) offer for Bunedia. Norwich are allegedly holding out for at least €30 million (£25 million), however:
Now, signing another winger or attack minded midfielder will be well down on David Moyes’s priority list this summer.
Should the Hammers miss out on Jesse Lingard, however, Buendia would be the ideal alternative.
Arsenal and West Ham chasing brilliant Buendia
The 24-year-old was in truly sensational form for Norwich this season.
He racked up 15 goals and 17 assists in 39 Championship games for the Canaries (Transfermarkt).
Those are truly brilliant numbers, whichever league you’re playing in.
Buendia can play anywhere along the front-line. He possesses blistering pace, exceptional technical ability and is clinical in front of goal.
The 24-year-old has a keen eye for a killer pass as well and plays with a certain kind of tenacity that makes him ideally suited to the Premier League.
Buendia would be a sensational signing for West Ham or Arsenal.
It seems as though the Gunners have made the first move for the Norwich ace, however.
