Unai Emery wants to bring Eden Hazard to Aston Villa – report
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery reportedly wants to bring Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard to Villa Park.
According to RMC Sport on 1 November, which is a reliable news outlet from France, where the Belgian made a name for himself before Chelsea, Emery now has to convince Hazard to move to Villa Park.
The Spaniard is yet to manage a game for his new club but is understood to be planning the transfers already.
Too ambitious?
Being ambitious is a good thing, especially for a club like Villa which see themselves as one of the big English sides.
Their owners have proven that they can sign big players and shell out the money to bring them in.
If Hazard wants to move, there’s a very good chance that Villa will match his wage demands and also whatever Madrid want from his sale.
However, the big question is whether or not he would want to leave the Champions League winners for a side battling relegation.
Philippe Coutinho did leave an elite club for Villa and it’s fair to say that the move hasn’t panned out how he thought it would.
It’s all on Emery as to whether or not he can manage to convince the Belgian who certainly would be a big name addition to the club and get the fans instantly excited.
