Aston Villa set for perfect start to summer rebuild amid exciting Oscar Mingueza update
Aston Villa are in need of a fresh start in the summer.
The Villans may be on course to qualify for the Champions League, but that can’t take away from the need for change within the squad.
There are a number of stars who appear to be past their sell-by date at Villa Park, with many supporters calling for change at this stage.
That could kickstart when the summer window opens, should Unai Emery have a fair amount of funding to make deals happen in B6.
Roberto Olabe and Co. may utilise the free transfer market to start on the right foot, with two deals potentially in the pipeline.
Aston Villa ready two free transfers ahead of summer window
There is no secret about the financial concerns that have plagued the Villans over the years.
PSR and SCR have seriously limited spending in the Midlands and left many to feel as if the system is there to limit them.
That means Villa have to box clever in the transfer market and make the most of every penny they have available.
This could see Emery make the most of two major market opportunities to bring in both Harry Wilson and Oscar Mingueza on free transfers.
The duo have been linked with Villa Park in recent weeks and months as both are heading towards the end of their contracts at their respective clubs.
The claret and blue outfit are said to be at the front of the queue to sign the Wales international, while early interest has emerged for the Celta Vigo man.
Both have been long-term targets for Emery’s side and could represent an ideal start to the window with a lesser impact on finances in B6.
Who could Harry Wilson and Oscar Mingueza replace at Aston Villa?
There are many big names who look likely to be on their way out of the Midlands this summer, especially if these free transfers are completed.
Wilson would provide a fresh edge in attacking areas as he has the capability to feature off the right or as a number 10, something which could spell bad news for Leon Bailey.
The Jamaica international has hardly covered himself in glory since returning from Roma, while the Fulham man has been a sensation this campaign.
Mingueza is a more interesting option due to his versatility as a centre-back or right-back, but his introduction would potentially spell bad news for Andres Garcia.
The 23-year-old has seriously struggled with injury in B6 since signing from Levante, and replacing him with a more reliable and experienced option could be wise.
Villa now have to get these deals over the line, and if they can, it could prove to be the springboard for a hugely positive summer.
