In search of bridging the gap at Premier Leaguetop four this month, Aston Villa now they are reportedly preparing to progress their deal to sign another La Liga defender after Andres Garcia.
Aston Villa transfer news
The Villans wasted little time this month before stealing the transfer headlines, welcoming Donyell Malen to kick things off and now reportedly signed a contract with Garcia from Levante. The young right-back comes in to compete for a place against Matty Cash, who is more than ever in danger of losing his starting role under Unai Emery.

With around two weeks left in the transfer window, Villa could still end the month as the busiest team in the Premier League alongside Manchester City to leave Emery with no excuses in his quest for back-to-back Champions League qualification this season.
However, even after Garcia, those in the Midlands don’t seem to be done there. I like it Oscar Minguez they have been mentioned for some time and while there is no doubt that he is one to watch, it is now more likely that Villa will welcome another La Liga defender this month.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa are now preparing to move forward in a deal to sign Loic Bade from Sevilla this month as Diego Carlos moves ever closer to the exit door.
Besides, those at Villa Park will they reportedly have to pay up to £25 million convince Sevilla to sell before the end of the month which could quickly turn into a bargain.
“Warrior” Bade would be an excellent strike
At just £42m, Bade could quickly become a bargain for Aston Villa given how he will upgrade their backline in the years to come. The Frenchman found himself at the center of praise while playing for both France and Sevilla, with the analyst Ben Mattinson leading to the fact that towards the end of last year the defender was described as a “warrior”.
He’s still only 24, and there’s plenty more to come from Bade – which makes Aston Villa’s potential investment at this stage even more worthwhile.
In one move, the Villans could land two La Liga defenders who are perfectly capable of providing Emery with an improved backline for the remainder of the campaign. And that could prove to be the difference in Aston Villa’s battle to secure a place in the top four in the Premier League for the second consecutive season.
