Lille seemingly don’t have any plans to keep Anwar El Ghazi.
Aston Villa will have decisions to make on a whole host of loanees this summer, though their playoff fate may play a huge part in their plans.
Villa could be back in the Premier League next season as they head into the playoffs as the most in-form team, and promotion would certainly impact their plans for their loanees.
Tammy Abraham will be the hardest to sign permanently, whilst Tyrone Mings will be a top target no matter what division Villa are in, and Kortney Hause’s future may be the one which is unclear.
Winger Anwar El Ghazi is another player on loan, but L’Equipe claim that Lille want to offload him permanently this summer in order to raise funds for other deals.
The Dutchman was brought to Villa Park by Steve Bruce last summer, and has notched five goals and six assists in 31 Championship games for Villa this term.
Formerly of Ajax, El Ghazi hasn’t quite lived up to his potential from his days in Amsterdam, but he’s making an impact with Villa, who will be in the box seat to sign him permanently if they want to this summer.
Villa fans have been taking to Twitter to react to the report about the 23-year-old’s future, with some feeling that he would be a good Championship signing, but should be avoided if Villa go up.
However, many believe that El Ghazi should be signed no matter what, believing he should be snapped up now, with some welcoming him to his new permanent home already.
