Villa transfer update.
Transcript
00:00 What's the latest on Aston Villa?
00:12 I'm not sure if he's done just yet. I do expect some stuff will come in before the end of
00:17 the window. Potentially Leon Bailey could be moving away, which would mean they need
00:20 another winger to come in. Jeremy Doak who's been spoken a lot about, but Manchester City
00:25 are now interested in him as well. So that's quite high competition really after obviously
00:30 Mahrez left City for Saudi Arabia. But Ferran Torres is a name that just won't really go away.
00:35 Himself the player, he said he wants to stay at Barcelona and he's really determined about that,
00:40 but he could be set to leave. If Ousmane Dembele stays at Barcelona, I think there's just too many
00:46 players there and he's not going to get enough game time and they need to raise some funds. So
00:51 he could go towards the end of the window, definitely want to look at. And Villa have
00:55 been heavily linked of interest in him. But even if they don't make any more signings, I think just
01:00 the three that have already been brought in, Paul Torres, 30 odd million. I think that's a really
01:05 good deal and near on world class centre half and he's showed good signs in pre-season. Moussa Diaby
01:11 scored two goals in two games in America to kick off his pre-season for Villa. Looks like a really
01:16 good signing. 50 million is a lot of money. Of course, takes a lot of the budget out, which might
01:20 mean not too many more names to come in. And of course, Uri Tieleman is on a free transfer from
01:25 Leicester. Already very experienced and showed great composure in the fixtures so far. So even
01:30 if they don't bring anyone else in, their squad has definitely been strengthened ahead of the new season.
