Transfer update:Aston Villa “plot” a sensational £40 million January transfer for a highly touted wonderkid
|Aston Villa ‘plot’ exciting £40m January move for highly rated wonderkid with top potential
The latest transfer news from Villa Park ahead of the January transfer window.
With back-to-back home wins over Manchester City and Arsenal, Unai Emery’s team has vaulted Aston Villa into an unlikely title push. This season, Aston Villa has been one of the Premier League’s surprise packages.
The Villains hope to make it back to the top four for the first time since the club’s last significant cup victory, which occurred in 1996.
This season, Emery’s team has shown that it can fight with the greatest teams
in the division, but as the team gets ready to play in the Europa Conference
League knockout rounds, it is still clear that more squad depth is needed.
The Spaniard, who has already experienced four different victories in European competitions, will surely take the tournament seriously but is hoping that the additional pressure won’t hurt his club’s league performance.
In order to facilitate a more seamless rotation process, Emery is eager to add more quality to his midfield. Oscar
Gloukh, a juvenile prodigy, is thought to have captured his attention.
The 19-year-old attacking midfielder Gloukh is a member of Red Bull Salzburg,
one of the finest teams in Austrian football. The youthful player has already
made 13 appearances for his country and scored three goals.
Beginning his career in Israel’s premier division with Maccabi Tel Aviv, the
midfielder became one of the team’s key players at the age of 17.
Red Bull Salzburg, who had previously signed athletes like Dominik Szoboszlai
and Brenden Aaronson, took notice of his skills right once.
Despite Salzburg’s elimination from the Champions League in the group stage,
Gloukh has impressed this season with two goals in the competition. Gloukh
won the Austrian Bundesliga in his debut season with Salzburg.
In 41 games for the squad, he has eight goals and seven assists overall, and he is
thought to be a key player in the starting lineup.
Red Bull Salzburg wants to keep the player to improve their chances of
winning the championship, but their early Champions League exit has made it
more likely that he will leave, according to Football Insider.
According to reports from the site, Aston Villa is reportedly in the lead to sign him, and the West Midlands team is prepared
to pay between £40 and £50 million to seal the deal.
