Aston Villa Report

#AVFC have completed the signing of Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea, with a conditional obligation to buy. The 22yo has long been admired by Unai Emery, who has been the driving force behind the move. An intriguing signing for Villa. 🇦🇷 http////www.birminghammail.co./k/

Manchester United and Aston Villa have contacted Everton over a move for Iliman Ndiaye. United cannot progress until Marcus Rashford leaves, while Villa are also pursuing the 26-year-old. Everton could demand around £70M for Ndiaye. @FabrizioRomano #AVFC #MUFC #EFC

“I’m very excited to be here and to be training with Unai Emery and the team. “It’s a very big club in England and they’re playing in the Champions League. I’ve already played against Aston Villa, and for me, it was the perfect plan." Johan Manzambi #AVFC

What an opportunity for Alejandro Garnacho to get his career back on track as he joins Aston Villa onan initial loan. Easy to forget he's only 22 and will finally enjoy a stable environment under Unai Emery, who'll give him everything he needs. The rest is up to Garnacho. #AVFC

Pervis Estupiñán, there is still a €2m gap between the offer from Aston Villa and the asking price of AC Milan. New talks between the clubs are expected. The deal is considered well advanced. @86_longo #AVFC

#AVFC had discussed Alejandro Garnacho as a possibility in recent days. Summerville & Mbaye were long-standing targets, but Villa, led by Emery, saw Garnacho as a market opportunity and pursued during the day. Jacob Tanswell
