Aston Villa Eyes Permanent Deal for ‘Fantastic’ Jadon Sancho – Unai Emery
Aston Villa’s head coach, Unai Emery, has expressed interest in a permanent transfer for Jadon Sancho. Currently, Sancho is on a season-long loan at Villa Park from Manchester United, where his contract expires at the end of the season. This means he will become a free agent next summer.
Unai Emery’s Perspective on Jadon Sancho
Emery praised Sancho as a “fantastic player.” He mentioned that if Sancho continues to evolve and demonstrate improvement on the field, Villa would consider making a move to secure him permanently. During a recent news conference, Emery commented on the possibility of signing Sancho: “Not yet, but he is a fantastic player. Hopefully, he can help us by increasing his qualities in our structure.”
Competition for Jadon Sancho’s Signature
If Manchester United decides to extend Sancho’s contract, he would face competition from notable players such as:
- Bryan Mbeumo
- Matheus Cunha
- Amad Diallo
Emery acknowledged the competitive nature of football, stating, “This is football, and matches are all important for every player and the club’s future.” His focus remains on achieving the club’s objectives while enhancing player performances.
Sancho’s Performance This Season
The head coach reflected on Sancho’s initial struggles at Villa. According to Emery, “The first part of the season was not enough. He was working and trying, but not achieving the performance we needed.” Recently, there have been signs of improvement, which encourage Emery as they prepare for their upcoming match against Brighton.
With aspirations to break into the top five of the league, Aston Villa looks forward to Sancho contributing significantly in the weeks ahead.
