Aston Villa and Unai Emery are looking to capitalize on the January transfer window to further their success this season. In addition to seeking departures for peripheral players, Emery has discussed potential transfer targets. Villa’s main focus seems to be on the Premier League this month, with Emery keen to strengthen their options up front. While Ollie Watkins is performing well, he cannot carry the load alone for both European and domestic campaigns. Jhon Duran is a capable backup, but may not be ready for a starring role just yet.
Reports suggest that Aston Villa is considering a move for Armando Broja in the January transfer window. Chelsea is reportedly willing to let Broja go for the right price, and interested clubs are hoping to secure a deal for less than Chelsea’s asking price of £50m. AC Milan was previously interested in a loan move for Villa’s youngster, but Broja could prove to be an upgrade over Duran. Broja’s speed could be a valuable asset for Emery, as he was once considered one of the fastest players in the world. Fans will be eager to see how Villa takes advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes.
