He’s fully focused on Aston Villa, and continuing a solid debut season at Villa Park.
**Aston Villa success**
-----------------------
Victor Nilsson Lindelöf was a surprise signing for Aston Villa last summer, arriving on a free transfer after leaving Manchester United.
He has been at Old Trafford since 2017 but struggled during his eight years there, with injuries limiting the impact he could have under various managers.
Aston Villa moved to scoop him up on a free, though, as they looked to strengthen Unai Emery’s options in a difficult summer transfer window.
The move proved to be a smart one as he became a utility player under the Spanish boss, finishing the campaign with 28 appearances in all competitions and 1784 minutes under his belt. 10 of those came in their successful Europa League campaign, where he also played as a midfielder.
**No Allsvenskan move**
-----------------------
His current deal expires next summer, but he’s uninterested in any talk about his future for now.
“Yes, that’s the goal right now,” he said when asked about playing, even after Aston Villa.
“My body feels good, so I have a good feeling. I have played with constant pain before, so being pain-free gives an extra boost.”
He then shut down the idea of a move to the Allsvenskan in Sweden. Many Swedish players make such a move at the end of their careers, but the Aston Villa defender isn’t keen.
“I don’t think so,” he added when asked about the idea.
“I don’t see myself coming home to the Allsvenskan and playing. I’ve never played there, so it would be fun, but if I know myself right, I don’t think it’s possible.”
