Aston Villa have strengthened their identity as a top club in the Premier League in the last few seasons. After the arrival of Unai Emery, the team\u2019s playing style and results on the field have improved. The club are constantly improving their squad with an attempt to make a place in European competitions. Fans at Villa Park know that the club are no longer playing just to stay in the top half of the points table, but are moving towards bigger goals.<\/p>\n

Last season, the team played aggressively, but the lack of width was clearly visible in some matches. The balance of pace and creativity on the right and left flanks was not always seen. So, Emery has been looking at this deficiency for a long time, and he is now looking for players who can play in more than one position. The club have already brought Evann Guessand, but the manager believes that more depth is needed on the wings.<\/p>\n

According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web<\/a>, Aston Villa<\/a> are interested in signing AC Milan\u2019s Belgian winger Alexis Saelemaekers. According to the report, the 26-year-old is not currently a key player in Milan\u2019s plans, and the club could be open to a transfer. Villa could consider making a formal offer very soon.<\/p>\n

Alexis Saelemaekers prefers to play primarily on the right flank but has the ability to play on either side. His pace, technical control and knack for helping out in defence by tracking back could fit into Emery\u2019s tactics. Emery always prefers versatile players who can adapt quickly to the team\u2019s rhythm.<\/p>\n

Are Villa right to look at him as an option?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If the deal goes through, Aston Villa would get a player who would not only provide width in attack but also contribute to the defensive duties. Alexis\u2019s experience and energy could come in handy in the fast-paced and physical play of the Premier League. Emery\u2019s tactics value quick passing and runs from the flanks, and the Belgian winger could make an impact in that role.<\/p>\n

Still, he will need to make an immediate impact, as there is no time to waste in the Premier League. If Emery uses him correctly, Alexis Saelemaekers could add balance to Villa\u2019s attack and support the team\u2019s European ambitions by making an impact in the Europa League next season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
