00:00Yes, some more transfer business between Aston Villa and Chelsea, and this time it's Alejandro Garnaccio who is closing in
00:09on a surprise move to Aston Villa after the Midlands club reached an agreement with Chelsea over a loan deal
00:17that includes a conditional obligation to buy.
00:20The conditions attached to the deal are considered easily achievable, meaning the transfer is expected to become permanent if Garnaccio
00:29meets the agreed requirements during the 26-27 campaign.
00:35The manager Unai Emery has been a long-term admirer of the Argentine international and sees the 22-year-old
00:42as an ideal addition to strengthen his attacking options on the left-hand side after losing Morgan Rodgers.
00:50Garnaccio only joined Chelsea from Manchester United last summer for around £40m but struggled to establish himself as a regular
00:59starter at Stamford Bridge.
01:01The move offers Garnaccio the opportunity to revive his career under Unai Emery, whose track record for improving talented players
01:10has made Villa an attractive destination.
01:13If the transfer is completed, Garnaccio will become another high-profile arrival at Villa Park as the club continues to
01:21try and build a squad capable of challenging for European qualification again and competing on multiple fronts next season.
