Marco Asensio has hit the ground running with Aston Villa, scoring seven goals in eight appearances for the Premier League club.
The Spaniard’s latest two goals came in the UEFA Champions League last week, as he bagged a brace against Club Brugge. With Villa moving on to the next round, a matchup with Paris Saint-Germain is now on the horizon.
Asensio will have the chance to face the coach who restricted his playing time earlier this season—a key reason behind his decision to move to Villa Park in the winter transfer window.
Nonetheless, before that tie next month, there are rumors over the veteran’s future at Villa Park.
