Norwich City have identified Feyenoord captain Steven Berghuis as a potential replacement for Emiliano Buendia, who they sold to Aston Villa earlier this month.

Per PA Media, Norwich are interested in bringing Berghuis to Carrow Road thanks to his low price tag, which reported to be €5 million. Much like Buendia’s ability to play out wide or through the middle, Berghuis plays on the right-hand side of midfield with a tendency to drift inside and operate as a creative outlet behind the striker.

Norwich’s interest in Berghuis has been a long-standing one. They first tried to sign him in 2015, but the Dutchman opted for Watford, where he had a forgettable two-year stint, making just one start for the Hornets.

Having allowed Buendia to leave, Norwich will be hoping to find a replacement in time for their first Premier League game of the 2021/2 season, which sees them host Liverpool on Saturday, August 14.
