Aston Villa Daily Digest: Unai Emery, Tyrone Mings and the Pau Torres culture clash
Villa transfer updates and insight into the club's transfer strategy under Monchi
The end of the Premier League campaign is fast approaching and thoughts of next season are starting to creep into the collective football consciousness.
Aston Villa have games left to play but online chatter is inevitably turning towards the matter of transfers. Speculation is rife despite the club being pretty well buttoned-up when it comes to leaks from within, but the outs will be as interesting as the ins in the summer of 2025.
Obviously that depends massively on Champions League qualification but I don’t want to think about that just yet.
