The Argentina international has started every Premier League match since the Spaniard took charge, scoring two goals and showing more regularly the form which saw Villa make him their record £33million signing in 2021.

Emery has been impressed by Buendia’s mentality and desire to succeed, while the 26-year-old reckons the head coach’s methods are well suited to his playing style.

He said: “As soon as he (Emery) came, we had a good meeting and I understood everything that he asked of me.

“I think his ideas are perfect for my game. I really enjoy every game.

“I’m confident and I’m working as hard as possible to be in my best shape to help the team.”
