After a spectacular first half of the season, Unai Emery’s Aston Villa team is deep in a surprising battle for the Premier League title and may be planning to make moves in the January transfer window.
Three first-team players will be traded by Aston Villa in January as Unai Emery looks to sustain his team’s unexpected run for the Premier League championship.
Before the festive rounds of fixtures, the Midlands team is ranked third in the standings. If they defeat Sheffield United and everything go their way, they may be leading the league on Christmas Day. They are only one point behind the leaders.
Another indication of the progress achieved under Emery is their incredible performance this season. In his first season, the Spaniard guided Villa to seventh place and a spot in the Europa Conference League.
As the January transfer window approaches, it seems like they might be in line for a respectable bit of activity. The Athletic claims that Bertrand Traore, Calum Chambers, and Leander Dendoncker might all say goodbye.
Dendoncker, 28, joined Villa from Wolves in the previous campaign, although he has only made three starts thus far this year. Traore has only been included in two Premier League matchday squads this season, which has resulted in even fewer minutes.
