And Lange can be proud of bringing in some of the key players who have helped Unai Emery’s Villans Johan Langeadvance since the Danish club FC Copenhagen sent him to Villa Park in July 2020. Some of his best signings are listed below.
After finishing sixth in the top tier the previous year, the striker’s season-high 15 Premier League goals last season also significantly contributed to Villa’s ability to qualify for Europe. He later received a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad as a result of his outstanding performances while wearing a Claret and Blue jersey.
Since arriving from Arsenal in September 2020, the World Cup champion for Aston Villa has thrived for both club and country.
In addition to his celebration after winning the Golden Glove trophy for the competition, the shot-stopper’s historic late save for Argentina against France during the World Cup final will be seared into the memory banks for years to come.

The defensive midfielder, who joined Villa from Marseille on a free transfer in July 2022, is undoubtedly Lange’s best investment for the club.
