At the Sum of £..k-p/w Aston Villa move to Sign Midifielder for Unai Emery

According to reports, Aston Villa is currently getting closer to signing Unai Emery a new

offensive midfield player in order to beat out other bidders for his services in 2025.

Aston Villa wants to break out of their rut.
If Morgan Rogers’ late goal hadn’t been controversially disallowed for a foul on goalkeeper

Michele Di Gregorio, Aston Villa’s draw with Juventus might have resulted in all three points.

Although the point was believable in and of itself, it extended their losing streak,

which now stands at seven games, and has resulted in four losses in the past month alone,

as well as their elimination from the Carabao Cup.

Emery’s team is still only three points outside the top four in the Premier League and

in a strong position to advance to the next round of the Champions League,

so it hasn’t had a significant effect on their season yet. However, if it persists,

it will undoubtedly have detrimental effects later on.

With tough fixtures on the horizon, they need to get back to winning ways sooner rather than later,

and could use the January transfer window to try and do so,

with the club expected to be active mid-season to strengthen Emery’s squad.

Now, they have been tipped to complete a move to sign a new attacking midfielder.

Aston Villa “closing in” on Schmid deal
According to Football Insider, Aston Villa and Unai Emery are “closing in on a move for

Werder Bremen’s Romano Schmid” ahead of the January transfer window.

Schmid is one of the hottest prospects in the Bundesliga, with CIES reporting that the

Austrian has managed to create more chances this season than fellow Villa target Alex Baena and

Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal, according to its chance creation index, which takes into

account key passes, pre-assists and breaking opposition lines.

“is calculated on a scale of 100 by adding the frequency of passes leading to a goal or a clear chance,

passes made to the assistman (second assist), as well as passes breaking the

opposition’s defensive line received by a teammate”.
