Aston Villahave been linked with a move forBarcelonaforwardFerran Torres, and transfer insiderDean Joneshas told GIVEMESPORT when a Ԁєɑł could potentially happen.
The Villans are having a great window so far, recently completing the signing of Pau Torres from Villarreal, and Jones thinks his Spain team-mate would also be an exciting addition at Villa Park.
Aston Villa transfer news — Ferran Torres
Earlier this month, Jones informedGIVEMESPORTthat Villa are interested inFerran Torres.
A move to Unai Emery’s team would see him link up with compatriot Pau Torres, who was announced as a Villa player on Wednesday.
The Villans signed the central defєɴԀer from Villarreal in a £33m Ԁєɑł, as ɾєρօɾτed bySky Sports.
As well as Pau Torres, the Midlands club have also managed to add Youri Tielemans to their squad after his decision to leave Leicester City as a free agent.
What has Dean Jones said aboutFerran Torresand Aston Villa?
Jones thinks Villa fɑɴȿ should be excited about the possibility of the Premier League outfit signingFerran Torresthis summer but has warned any potential Ԁєɑł may not happen until the єɴԀ of the transfer window.
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the journalist said:”Obviously, Pau Torres is going to be a wonderful signing andFerran Torresas well, I think, is something equally exciting in terms of what he could bring. The problem with that signing is it might not happen until towards the back єɴԀ of the window, so it could be a bit of a wait.”
AreAston Villainterested in any other attackers?
Villa have also been linked with Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto, though Jones saysthey face a battle against clubs from Italy for his signature.
According to theMailOnline, the Villans are keen on signing Bayer Leverkusen’s Moussa Diaby, too. The French winger impressed for the German side last season, scoring 14 goals and providing another 11 assists in all competitions, as perTransfermarkt.
It is clear, then, that Emery wants to strengthen his attack before the transfer window slams shut in September.
Whether he can get someone likeFerran Torres, who costBarcelonaaround £46m when he joined from Manchester City (viaBBC Sport), or Diaby remains to be seen. Targeting such players shows ambition, though, as does bringing in the likes of Pau Torres and Tielemans, so Villa fɑɴȿ can be happy with what they are seeing from their club right now.
Naturally, Emery wants to improve the quality and depth of his squad. His side are in the Europa Conference League after finishing seventh in the Premier League last term and may want to go one or two steps further this upcoming season and qualify for either the Europa League or Champions League.
