Aston Villa will require reinforcements after qualifying for Europe this summer, and they may now have the opportunity to recruit a free agent, according to writer Dean Jones of GIVEMESPORT.

During the transfer window, Unai Emery and his recruiting staff have already made several impressive additions.

Aston Villa transfer updates –
So far this summer, Villa have signed Moussa Diaby, Pau Torres, and Youri Tielemans, boosting their team in a variety of positions.

Emery led his team to Europa Conference League qualification, and the busy schedule that comes with competing in Europe means that more reinforcements will be required.

After completing the acquisition of Diaby, Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor recently told GIVEMESPORT that Villa had no plans to slow down in the transfer market.

It’s certainly exciting times for Villa fans, given their upcoming European adventure and Emery’s entire transformation of the team at Villa Park.

Despite the fact that they have a core of players that are more than likely capable of competing  on all fronts heading into the new season, adding squad depth will be imperative to be able to take the club to the next step.

What has Jones said about Aston Villa?
Jones has suggested that one player Villa could now turn to is former Liverpool midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who has the ability to produce ‘spectacular’ moments, according to Jurgen Klopp.

The journalist adds, however, that any deal will have to suit Villa, with Oxlade-Chamberlain struggling to stay fit over the last few years.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “The possibility is there if they want to do it. Proposals have been made to various teams in recent times and the terms around it are going to have to be very beneficial towards Villa if this is going to happen.

“I’ve got my doubts about whether they go for it but I can see in a certain moment as this season gets underway why it would be good to have someone like him in the squad as a depth option.

“But when negotiating a contract like this it’s going to make sense to have it heavily weighted in terms of appearances to provide motivation for him to play but also to protect themselves from injury issues.

“It was a year ago that he picked up a hamstring injury that left him sidelined for a few months heading into the season, so obviously, you just need to be wary of little things like that. He only played 13 times in all competitions in 2022/23.”

What is Villa’s next step?
As previously said, Villa upgraded their defense, midfield, and offense throughout the summer transfer window.

Emery will believe Torres, Diaby, and Tielemans can have an immediate impact on the starting lineup.

However, there is no doubt that the Spanish manager would look to add more players to his squad in order to strengthen it.

Journalist Taylor also told GIVEMESPORT that Villa might lose Leander Dendoncker and Philippe Coutinho, as well as Morgan Sanson, leaving them short in the center of the park.
