Unai Emery and Champions League football: Who could Aston Villa attract with huge pull this summer?

A tempting offer…

Transcript

00:00 It obviously becomes an interesting summer window for Aston Villa. You mentioned Diaby

00:07 and Paltar as well. That was before Champions League football was achieved. That shows you

00:12 the aim-raised pull that he has. How much of a pull does the Champions League now bring

00:17 to these top players? It seems like Villa are just going to keep on getting better and

00:21 if they can keep getting these players to come in, these world-class players who have

00:25 world-class seasons. Diaby for Leverkusen before he signed was one of the hottest prospects

00:30 in the world at the time. It's going to be a massive summer for Aston Villa and it's

00:35 something the fans can really get excited about.

00:37 Yes, absolutely. I think with Emery, his pull, as you say, his experience, how successful

00:43 he's been across European competitions, all those Europa League titles that he's got,

00:46 it's been so impressive. The fact he's so committed to the club, signing a new deal,

00:51 showing that he wants to stick around for many years, potentially even a decade he was

00:55 speaking about. Players that are experienced, already established, can build into that and

00:59 they can buy into that and want to join Villa for the long term as well.
