Undoubtedly, the Villans have endured a stop-start beginning to the transfer window amid PSR uncertainty in the West Midlands. However, they now appear set to step up their business over the next few weeks.
With Emiliano Martinez’s future uncertain due to links with Manchester United, Unai Emery has signed Marco Bizot from Stade Brestois and he is keen to hit the ground running after sealing a move to Aston Villa.

He stated: “It’s an amazing feeling. I’m a little bit blown away by the professionalism of the club and the effort everyone put into it. I’m really proud and really happy to be here. It’s an amazing club, a big club, and it’s a dream to be at the highest level possible.
“The contact we’ve had in the last weeks has been of the highest level I’ve ever experienced in my life, and it made it an easy decision to join Aston Villa.”
Following on from their capture of the Netherlands international, Aston Villa have opened talks to sign Liverpool midfielder Harvey Elliott and he is enticed by the possbility of being able to take part in their Europa League campaign.

The Villans have stepped up their pursuit of a new striker.
Toulouse defender Jaydee Canvot is another name on the Villans’ radar, so there is plenty of plates starting to spin despite a slow start to the window.
Now, Aston Villa have turned their attention to a proven Premier League operator who has made a considerable amount of headlines in recent weeks.
Aston Villa now want to sign Alejandro Garnacho
According to The Daily Mail, Aston Villa have registered their interest in signing Manchester United winger Alejandro Garnacho, initiating contact over his situation at Old Trafford.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on the Argentina international, and it is said that he is keen to stay in the English top-flight rather than opting to move abroad.

Labelled a “special player” by Bruno Fernandes, Garnacho registered 11 goals and ten assists in 58 appearances across all competitions last term, albeit he is now set for an exit from Manchester United after being banished from training with their first-team.
Atletico Madrid and Napoli are also previous admirers of the £70 million-rated Madrid-born man, though the fact he would prefer to stay in England could work in Emery’s favour.
It remains to be seen if Aston Villa can indeed push a deal over the line, but it would be a major statement of intent in their quest for the Champions League slots once again this term.
