Emery now made an “extraordinary” ace for Aston Villa after previous interest during January transfer window.

An important target appears to have been identified by Aston Villa before the January transfer market opens.

After overseeing an incredible start to the season at Villa Park, Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, has apparently identified a major target ahead of the January transfer window.

Aston Villa’s lofty ambitions…

Undoubtedly, the Villans are a completely different proposition this time round from where they were just a year ago as they now look primed for a tilt at trying to bring Champions League football to Villa Park.

Spanish coach Emery deserves an immense amount of credit for the progression he has managed to unearth in the West Midlands.

However, Aston Villa’s recruitment team have worked hard behind the scenes to bring some extremely talented

players to the club, which has coincided with their rapid rise from relegation contenders to currently being situated fourth in the Premier League table.

Amassing 29 points from 14 encounters is a commendable return from the Villans, who find themselves only four points off league leaders

Arsenal heading into a congested run of fixtures that will take place over the course of the Christmas period.

Intriguingly, Aston Villa will take on Manchester City and Arsenal this week in quick succession at Villa Park, with both matches likely to indicate how

far they can take their lofty ambitions this term by comparing themselves against two of Europe’s in-form sides.

Manchester United and Chelsea may be slightly more realistic comparisons to Emery’s men; however, Mark Bosnich, who played for both clubs, has indicated that he expects the Villans to finish above both clubs, saying:

“I know they had the draw on the weekend against Bournemouth but I thought overall they were again a little bit unfortunate that the disallowed goal they had, I think that would have turned them.”

Emery is ready during January transfer window.

“Unai Emery, though—you look at his record this year, he’s second only to Manchester City, I believe. Thus, I believe Aston Villa will emerge victorious over the teams you have listed, Manchester United and Chelsea.”

In terms of transfers, Emery is apparently preparing a move for a La Liga player to increase his alternatives in the closing third of the season.
