Aston Villa manager Unai Emery knows AC Milan’s Samuel Chukwueze from their time together at Villarreal.
Last month, we relayed news from Italy that Emery is an admirer of the winger and wants to reunite with him at Villa Park.
Calciomercato.it now reiterate the Aston Villa coach’s desire to sign the 25-year-old in the winter market.
The report focuses on the Italian club wanting to get rid of some players, including Chukwueze, who have disappointed this season.
He’s managed three goals and an assist from 22 matches and new Milan manager Sérgio Conceição aims to focus on other types of winger. Therefore, the Serie A side are ready to evaluate offers for the attacker, who could end up in the Premier League.
Aston Villa have shown interest in the Nigeria international, and this could be because of Unai Emery. It’s claimed he’s ‘ready to bet on’ his former player in January and Aston Villa have taken action to secure Chukwueze’s services.
Calciomercato.it state Aston Villa are making space in their squad by trying to offload winger Jaden Philogene in this window.
The operation for Chukwueze could go through if the Villans were to make a convincing offer.
