Emery wants Aston Villa to ‘try again’ to sign player – Manager leading January transfer pursuit

Aston Villa have continued to keep an eye on Sevilla’s Marcos Acuña despite failing to sign him in the last window.

Unai Emery’s side were keen on securing the left-back’s services before the deal collapsed after he suffered an injury and the two clubs failed to reach an agreement.

Grada3 highlight this and then state Aston Villa ‘doesn’t forget’ about the 31-year-old.

It’s claimed the former Arsenal manager wants the Premier League side to ‘try again’ to sign the fullback in January.

The Argentina international will turn 32 years of age later this month and has a deal until 2025. Taking these two factors into account, the report states the Andalusian club won’t be against parting ways with him, likely in the winter market.

Grada3 doesn’t mention the fee that’s needed to convince the La Liga side to let go of the World Cup winner.

Emery knows Acuña from his time at the La Liga side and is presented as leading the Villans’ pursuit to sign him.

Lucas Digne and Àlex Moreno are currently the two left-backs at Aston Villa, and the latter has been on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury and hasn’t yet made an appearance this season.
