Aston Villa, as of late, have been a team that has a lot going for them in a collective sense. The club has smartly worked out many signings in the last few years that few people would’ve understood at first, but then they’d get so much out of them.
It’s not limited to just signing exciting players. Aston Villa have signed and revived some players who may or may not have had a future in top-level football if it wasn’t for them – Ross Barkley rings a bell.
Be that as it may, they are also on the lookout for young talent, and, right now, they are reportedly interested in some wingers.
According to Graeme Bailey, Aston Villa have been monitoring FC Midtjylland winger Dario Osorio, while Atenção, Vascaínos claim they are interested in Rayan from Vasco de Gama.
Rayan has attracted a lot of interest from top clubs like Milan, Fiorentina, Real Betis, etc., which shows that the talent clearly is there. He plays in Brazil currently, but has definitely shown flashes of brilliance during his time at the club.
Osorio, from Chile, has also been a subject of conversations for many European clubs, as he is currently plying his trade in Denmark. He has scored two goals and has an assist, and also played the full 90 minutes in Chile’s 2-1 loss to Brazil during this international break.
Both players play the same position, and both of them are interesting prospects for Villa to keep an eye on for the future.
Obviously, as it is generally with young players, no one knows how they will turn out to be, but the ceiling is definitely there, it is just a matter of whether these players develop enough to reach where they are supposed to be.
