Aston Villa set up their January booth…
Given their recent start in the English Premier League, Aston Villa will undoubtedly be an intriguing destination for possible incomings as they prepare for a fantastic Champions League qualification run under Unai Emery. Of course, recruiting strategically in the January window will be critical to converting their goals into reality in the West Midlands, and the Spaniard has given an indication of his approach to the market at a recent news conference, stating
“I’m not thinking too much about it because one or two players may depart, but it’s unclear. If we’re attempting to obtain someone, it’s because we’re confident he’ll help us improve in the squad. It’s unclear when you can obtain it in January.”
Bringing a striker to Villa Park in the January window has become a goal for the club, and Leicester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho is said to be “among the targets” to help them improve their options in the final third. Nonetheless, a defender has emerged on Emery’s radar, and Aston Villa has entered the race for his services, according to a recent source.
According to The Mail on Sunday cited via West Ham Zone, Aston Villa have joined the race to sign Peterborough United defender Ronnie Edwards, who is also firmly on the radar of West Ham United and Crystal Palace.
