Aston Villa signing Emi Buendia tribute to Norwich and fans | OneFootball

Aston Villa midfielder Emi Buendia has paid tribute to Norwich City and their fans.

Buendia left the Canaries this week for Villa.

He posted to social media: "It's time to say goodbye. I am very grateful for these three wonderful years, where I have been so happy, where I have learned, suffered and, above all, I have enjoyed so much!" He wrote.

"I arrived with the dream of being able to achieve great goals, but I could never imagine that so many wonderful things would happen to me in this club and City. Having managed to promote twice being a champion is one of the best things I will remember in my career and this happened here with all of you.

"On the other hand, in personal terms, my family has grown up in this city and it has been only a few months ago that my second son Giovanni was born here. I will be happy to tell him in the future that he was born in such an outstanding place, where together with my wife Claudia, and his older brother Thiago, we have all been incredibly happy.

"I just want to thank every person belonging to the NCFC, for the good relationships and the trust conveyed at all times. Say thanks also to the technical staff, besides by colleagues for these three wonderful years. They are great players but, above all, great people, from whom I have learned a lot from each one of them and whom I have enjoyed every season.

"And you, all my fans, the ones who are always there at Carrow Road and away games, you are amazing!!

"I personally missed you so much this season in every game. you really are the NCFC. Thank you so much for your support from the very beginning. You made me feel at home as well as my family. I've felt so happy during these three years of my life and that is something I'll always take with me. I will always be very grateful to everyone.

"Thank you NCFC. Thank you Norwich."
