Unai Emery could bring ex-player to Aston Villa – Boss is a ‘long time admirer’ of winger

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is no stranger to reuniting with his former players at his new clubs.

Pau Torres played under the Spaniard during their time together at Villarreal and has become an important part of the Aston Villa side.

There is now a chance that Emery could look to reunite with another former player of his.

NotizieMilan today have looked at the situation of Samuel Chukwueze, who is struggling at AC Milan and plied his trade under Emery at Villarreal.

The report states that Chukwueze isn’t well integrated into Paulo Fonseca’s setup at Milan, having played only 605 minutes in Serie A. He is seen as a sellable entity and the feeling is that Emery could attempt to bring him to Aston Villa.

He is a ‘long time admirer’ of the Nigerian and still sees a lot of talent in him, with Milan said to be quite open to a sale.

There is no mention of whether a January move is possible or not but the Rossoneri could be willing to sell him for less than the €20m fee that they spent to sign the winger from Villarreal.
