Aston Villa have typically been savvy with their transfer and contract dealings since Unai Emery came in.
The Villans have gone from strength to strength under the Spaniard with the help of club president of football operations Monchi.
This has seen many key stars sign new contracts in recent years with Morgan Rogers being a key example of this during the current campaign.
With that being said, issues have been raised at Bodymoor Heath which has resulted in the B6 club making an admission for some of their behaviour.

Aston Villa admit wrongdoing with Rory Wilson
Villa News have learned that Damian Vidagany and Monchi have re-opened contract negotiations with Wilson after failing to reach an agreement earlier in the season.
As a result of the breakdown in talks, Wilson was forced to train alone at Bodymoor Heath while he recovered from an ankle injury.

This was labelled as “coercive” behaviour by the teenager’s camp but it finally appears that a resolution is set to be found at Villa Park.
Villa News understands that talks have been ongoing for six weeks, in which time the hierarchy in B6 have admitted their mishandling of the situation initially.
The current negotiations are said to be highly positive and have included plenty of key figures for the Villans to help push a deal over the line.

Wilson edges towards new Aston Villa contract
There are high hopes for the Scotland Under-19s international and it was certainly disappointing to learn of messy negotiations with the striker.
With so many clubs interested in the teenager’s signature throughout the season, it is clear just how highly rated Wilson is at Aston Villa .
As a result of this, it seems as if the Villans have changed their mind and opted to make a deal happen with the youngster just months after talks appeared to fail so harshly.
It will be interesting to see how quickly a deal can be agreed and signed by the Scot and whether this will result in a potential first-team squad place.
With Ollie Watkins currently operating as the only senior striker at Villa Park, there is every chance that this could be possible in the near future.
