It was almost inevitable, but a lot of Villarreal players are being linked with a move to Aston Villa following Unai Emery swapping the La Liga side with the Villans.
We’ve covered a number of articles on the matter already, with the likes of Nicolas Jackson, being sent to Villa Park in the transfer rumour mill, and we now have another.
Emery oversaw his first win as Aston Villa’s new manager on Sunday against Manchester United, and he will have undoubtedly been pleased with the efficiency his players showed in front of goal.
However, if Fichajes.net are to be believed, he wants another winger at the club, having already reached out to Samuel Chukwueze.
The Nigeria International was reportedly approached by Everton late on in the transfer window regarding a transfer, but nothing came of it, and now, it could be Aston Villa’s turn.
The website claim the player ‘would have received a call from Unai Emery after his signing for Aston Villa’, while other teams, such as West Ham, Everton or Arsenal are also said to be interested.
Any interested side would need to pay around €50m for the forward, which is a fee the Midlands team could probably afford, having allegedly promised their new manager transfer funds to work with.
That’s why Fichajes headline their article ‘Emery calls Chukwueze to be Aston Villa’s top winter signing’, because at that price, he certainly would be.
