Aston Villa have been in the market for right back help for quite some time now, as Matty Cash hasn't been cutting it when comparing him to other starting right backs in the top seven of the Premier League. After securing a top-four finish last season and Champions League football, Aston Villa have found themselves in a much more difficult fight to secure UCL action next season. So Unai Emery and Monchi will have to make a couple of splashes this winter, too, in order to remain proactive and make sure they give themselves the best chance of success in the second half of the campaign. According to a report from Spanish footballing insider Matteo Moretto of Relevo, Aston Villa are showing interest in two of the best right backs in LaLiga, Juan Foyth of Villarreal and Rayo Vallecano'...

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has built something special in Birmingham, as the Lions reached the Champions League last season and have successively improved in each campaign under the Spanish coach. Emery, as much as he was panned at Arsenal, is one of the most acclaimed coaches in European football and a serial winner at the international cup level, boasting a bevy of Europa League success in Spain at two historic clubs in Sevilla and Villarreal.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Aston Villa have been offered the opportunity to sign PSG star Milan Skriniar, who is one of the biggest names on the transfer market at center back. Skriniar was once one of the best center backs in the world at Inter Milan, winning the Scudetto in 202...

Aston Villa have two of the best center backs in the Premier League in Pau Torres and Ezri Konsa, both of whom have proven themselves as stars on an international level. But only one of them is healthy for the foreseeable future, as Torres suffered a fractured metatarsal about a week ago, leaving Aston Villa shorthanded entering the new year. Hence why Aston Villa are being linked to potential center back transfer targets. Their need in central defense may be increased by their own doing, though, as the Lions are close to making a high-profile sale. According to a report from the Daily Mail, Aston Villa are confident that they will finally be able to offload Brazilian central defender Diego Carlos, whom they tried hard to sell last year. Aston Villa believe they will be able to...
