Aston Villa are interested in Barcelona winger, Ansu Fati, with a bid to the tune £50 million rumoured.
Unai Emery has been interested in bringing a winger into the club all summer.
With the signings of Moussa Diaby and Nicolo Zaniolo, it appeared that ship had sailed.
According to Jose Alvarez Haya, Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are interested in the young spaniard.
So far this season, Fati has only made two appearances for the Catalan’s, with both coming off the bench.
Should Aston Villa sign Ansu Fati?
It is a strange rumour to see considering a winger or attacking midfielder isn’t particularly necessary at Villa Park right now.
With the signings made this window, is another attacking player needed?
Fati has undoubted potential, being given the famous number ten at Barcelona aged 18, following the departure of Lionel Messi.
Able to play off the left or as a central striker, the Spaniard loves to cut inside and get a shot away.
A product of La Masia, he has been described as a wonder kid many times, but injuries have hampered his career so far.
A fresh start in a new league could see him explode and reach the heights once thought of him.
His defensive contribution leaves a lot to be desired which may be something which turns Emery’s head away.
At £50 million, he represents a large outlay for a position that isn’t the most pressing to bring in.
That money would be much better placed in a new backup goalkeeper or right back to add some strength in depth to the squad.
