Emery brings News about the replacement of Diego Carlos, the return of McGinn and signing Garcie
Unai Emery says that Aston Villa is working hard to sign a replacement for Diego Carlos before closing the transition period.
The Brazilian defender joined Fenerbahce for the 8.5 million pounds reported earlier this week, leaving the Kons and Tyrone Mings ezri as the only two ready central defender Villa, while Pau Torres remains out of the field due to the injury of the foot.
Emery wants to add another central defender before the deadline on Monday, and the club is allegedly in the negotiations on the signing of Seville’s Loica Bade.
“We are open to attempt to improve the team until the last moment, and we are also open to the case of someone left,” said Sunday’s game against West Ham.
“Of course, Diego Carlos left last week and we have to replace it, and of course we also focus on what players could be potential players who could replace Diego Carlos.”
New Villa signs the Garcia ‘good opportunity’
Villa recently signed a contract with 21-year-old right-wing Bek Andres Garci, and the Spaniard became their second acquisition in January after Donyelll came from Borussia Dortmund.
Emery said of Garcia: “He is the right back, a potential, young player. He progressed so quickly, and I knew him before. I know how he was, and as a person.
“We decided to sign him because we thought it was a good opportunity, just at this point, a really good opportunity, as he progresses so quickly in his career.
“And of course, since he is a potential young player, we are not in a hurry with him.
“Let’s hope that with Andres Garcia we can quickly progress in his adjustment and how he can understand everything in the Premier League about the level we have.”
