Alberto Botines, the agent of Gerard Deulofeu has confirmed that Aston Villa have an interest in signing his client in January.
A recent report by Foot Mercato had claimed that Villa boss Unai Emery himself was keen on bringing Deulofeu to the club.
Birmingham Live had claimed just a couple of days ago that the Villains have already made an enquiry about signing the ex-Barcelona attacker.
Now, it seems these reports have been deemed true by the agent of Gerard Deulofeu himself.
The £15 million (Football Italia) is having a stormer of a season at Udinese currently.
With 6 goals and 5 assists in Serie A, Deulofeu has been one of the most productive attacking presences in Italy in the 2022/2023 campaign (via BBC Sport).
For context, the Aston Villa-linked star (6 goals) has outscored Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (5 goals) in the league, which suggests the stunning vein of form he finds himself in.
And now, the agent of Deulofeu has said that Villa are interested in bringing him to the Premier League.
Gerard Deulofeu agent confirms Aston Villa want to sign him in January
The agent of Gerard Deulofeu, Alberto Botines has confirmed that Aston Villa aim to sign his client in January.
“There has been an interest from Aston Villa, but nothing concrete”, the agent of Deulofeu said, as quoted by Football Italia.
Villa must complete Deulofeu deal in January
Clearly, Aston Villa aim to hit new heights under Unai Emery, as they are looking at smart transfer targets like Gerard Deulofeu, as now officially confirmed by his agent.
With Deulofeu going toe-to-toe with big names like Kvaratskhelia in Serie A and that too, for a mid-table team like Udinese, he would add a ton of productivity and skill to Vila.
Considering Philippe Coutinho has flattered to deceive, Leon Bailey is extremely injury prone and Emi Buenda is yet to justify the hype around his name, the club need to ensure the 28-year-old joins the club in January.
