Aston Villa completed the signing of Argentine attacking midfielder Emiliano Buendia on Monday in a £33 million club-record move.
The deal could rise to £38m with add-ons, and the 24-year-old will be looking to hit the ground running at Villa Park next season.
While Buendia is probably still elated after becoming the Midlands outfit’s most expensive signing of all time, he has been dealt a huge blow by Argentina.
The South American country have named their 28-man squad for Copa America, and Villa’s new boy has missed out.
