Aston Villa manager Unai Emery could have some big decisions to make in the next transfer window, as journalist Dean Jones named two senior players who might not last much longer, while speaking to GIVEMESPORT.
The Midlands club are going from strength to strength, and some players could be left behind if they don’t improve.
Villa are enjoying an impressive spell under Emery who was appointed in the middle of last season. The Spanish coach took over from Steven Gerrard, who was struggling to get a tune out of his players.
The Villans have been on an upward trajectory since Emery’s arrival and they secured qualification for the Europa Conference League last term. This campaign, Villa have started superbly, sitting in fifth place in the Premier League whilst also competing in Europe. At the end of August, Villa defeated Brighton & Hove Albion by six goals to one in England’s top flight, with star striker Ollie Watkins scoring a hat-trick. Just a few days later, the club announced that Watkins had signed a new long-term contract – a huge boost for Villa and their supporters.
As Villa continues to improve under Emery, the players must step up and fight for their places. The quality throughout the squad has improved drastically over the last few years, which has forced those who have been there through the tougher times to take their games to the next level.
