The most recent rumors surrounding Aston Villa transfers include Douglas Luiz, Yannick Bolasie, Inaki Williams, and Jeremie Frimpong
In less than five weeks, the January transfer market will open, and Aston Villa will be in a strong position to bolster their Champions League qualifying campaign and strengthen their team.
Villa’s victory over Tottenham over the weekend allowed them to pass their competitors and move up to the top four, with just two points separating the teams. This is due to Liverpool and Man City’s loss.
Even so, the club’s recruitment team will be working to ensure that the players they already have aren’t being plucked out by rival teams, even as Unai Emery continues to work tirelessly to produce results.
Here’s a summary of the most popular transfer rumors—as well as the relevant information—circulating right now.
Fabrizio Romano, a transfer analyst, is adamant that Arsenal will make another attempt to entice Douglas Luiz to the Emirates.
The writer stated in The Daily Briefing, his newsletter, that “I still think Arsenal will try to sign Douglas Luiz.”
In the summer of 2022, Luiz piqued the curiosity of Arsenal, who attempted to acquire him with many bids to North London.
Additionally, according to The Daily Mail, Mikel Arteta intends to “overhaul his midfield” and will attempt to sign Villa’s outstanding Brazilian in January.
While 90mins insist they will not back down, they also name Luiz’s previous team, Man City, and Liverpool as possible suitors.
Citing sources, they state that City has ‘shown an interest’. In 2022, Luiz and Villa inked a new contract that will last until the summer of 2026. He has made 171 appearances for Villa thus far in his career and is a key member of Unai Emery’s team.
As recently as Sunday, the 25-year-old received praise from the Spaniard, who declared, “Of course, I want to keep him. I am very happy with him.” I believe he is content with us. He is making his debut for his country’s squad. And he gave an incredible performance today. I desire him.
Greetings from again
After beginning the season without a club, Yannick Bolasie, a former Villa loan player, is back in the football league.
Alternative priorities
Inaki Williams of Athletic Bilbao was linked to Villa last week, possibly as a replacement for Ollie Watkins or as competition.
Though he has a contract that runs until 2028, the 29-year-old is entirely focused on his work in Spain after scoring his team’s equalizer in a 1-1 tie with Girona over the weekend.
After helping his side to fifth place in the standings this season, he scored his sixth goal and provided three assists in his 14 La Liga games. It appears that he has his sights set on scoring another goal this season.
“We were visiting a very difficult team, and the team played a great game,” Williams stated. Supporters of Athletic Club should be happy. It is our goal to look at the European perspectives in this manner; this is the path to take.”
