A major story centering on the head-turning summer plans of the transfer chiefs at Premier League outfit Aston Villa has come to the fore late on Thursday evening.
This comes as Villa aim to build on what has proven a superb 2nd-half to the campaign.
Sitting joint-7th in England’s top-flight, and with prospects looking bright under the watch of Unai Emery, the Claret and Blue look set to splash the cash once more, to firmly establish themselves in the top-six battle in 2023/24.
And, as alluded to above, this evening, an insight into precisely what such plans may entail has been forthcoming online.
The info comes courtesy of The Telegraph, who point towards the Villa hierarchy as having set their sights on a trio of high-profile targets.
Kieran Tierney #3 of Arsenal
First up, close to home, Unai Emery is keen to see his side challenge Newcastle United for the signature of Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney.
All of this, of course, comes as Aston Villa prepare to welcome a new director of football to the club, namely departing Barcelona chief Mateu Alemany.
