Unai Emery urges Liverpool to remove Aston Villa's obligation to buy Harvey Elliott, insisting that the midfielder is being "damaged" by the situation. "It can change for him, if Liverpool take off this clause. If they don't want to, the player gets damaged." #AVFC https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/unai-emery-sends-liverpool-transfer-33380283

Unai Emery says Amadou Onana is growing in importance for #AVFC, but admits the midfielder's biggest challenge is staying fit.
