Unai Emery makes Aston Villa transfer stance clear after Barcelona move

BirminghamLive provides Aston Villa news as Unai Emery addresses transfer rumors involving Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet.

Even though AC Milan and other teams expressed interest in signing the Barcelona loanee before the January transfer window, head coach Unai Emery of Aston Villa intends to keep Clement Lenglet in his lineup for the remainder of the year.

Given that Pau Torres is sidelined, Lenglet may make his Premier League debut for Villa on Friday night against Sheffield United.Due to a minor ankle injury sustained during the team’s most recent victory over Brentford, the Spaniard is presently out of commission. Lenglet, a left-footed center back, is the obvious substitute.

Contracted to Barcelona for another two-and-a-half years, Lenglet joined Villa on loan after Tyrone Mings suffered a long-term knee injury on the opening weekend of the season. He has made a total of five appearances for the club, all of which have come in the Europa Conference League.

Emery said, “I am really happy with him.” “It is incredible how dedicated he is to every training session. He is a skilled professional who is constantly prepared to play. He was ill during the previous matches. He was in Zrinjski with us.

“At Brentford, he improved somewhat but remained somewhat sickly. If other players felt the same way he did, they might not be on the team.

“If all goes according to plan, I believe he will play tomorrow. I’m hoping to see him and can’t wait to see how he can support us in tomorrow’s and the upcoming games.

“I want to keep him because we need players for the challenges we are going to face this season.”
