Transfer Moves Under Unai EmeryAston Villa, under the guidance of Unai Emery, is making significant strides in the transfer market as they gear up for the January window.

Unai Emery says selling Jaden Philogene to Ipswich for £23million is the best deal for Villa. The 22-year-old winger is leaving just six months after returning to the club in a £13.5m switch from Hull last July, a move heavily pushed for by Emery.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is hopeful Leon Bailey will grow in confidence after he scored his first goal of the season against Leicester City this afternoon. Villa took the lead through Barkley just before the hour mark, but were pegged back shortly after as Stephy Mavididi scored at the far post following a strong save from Emi Martinez.

Aston Villa have reportedly submitted a new and improved offer to sign an attacking reinforcement who has given the green light over a January switch.
