A snapshot of Aston Villa’s season so far
A top-four finish is now a realistic goal for UnaiEmery’s side this season, but there is still plenty of football to be played in the 2023/24 season. The Villans are fifth in the table, having won 25 points from their opening 12 games, and have scored the second most goals in the league, only behind champions Manchester City.
However, they will be up against it this weekend when they travel to face an impressive Tottenham Hotspur side in N17.
According to BBC Sport, Emery could be boosted by news that Aston Villa’s Jacob Ramsey has returned to training after re-aggravating his broken metatarsal, which has kept him out since September and ruled him out for the season.
Meanwhile, former club captain Mings, who is out for the season with a knee injury, has been undergoing intensive rehabilitation and has been out of first-term action.
Mings posted a positive update on his injury status on social media, saying “I know you don’t think you can get rid of me so easy, so this is a thank you. I’ll let you know.”
On the off-field front, it looks like Aston Villa and
Aston Villa are close to signing Real Union, a third-tier Spanish club owned by Unai Emery’s brother, according to a report in Spain from Birmingham Live.
The report states that Real Union president Igor Emery is now “very close” to a deal with Aston Villa, which Birmingham Live describes as “exciting”.
The nature of the alleged partnership has not yet been fully revealed, but it is said to be “sporting” in nature, with a possible four-year agreement in the off-season.
It is understood that Aston Villa will provide an economic endowment to Real Union, rather than joining forces with V Sports.
In recent months, the Villans have announced a strategic relationship with Japanese club Vissel Kobe which will see the two clubs work closely together to develop players and exchange ideas and best practices with the aim of increasing the number of Japanese players playing in European football in the future, including potentially for Aston Villa.
In what is an encouraging update for all involved, Aston Villa look to be trying to elevate their stature within the global game as their stock continues to rise on the field.
