Villa sign two youngsters with midfielder next on the agenda
da betsson： Unai Emery has added two promising young talents to his ranks in the winter window, with teenagers Alysson and Brian Madjo the only two new faces so far.
That is not to say the Villans are not hunting for senior additions however, having tried for Conor Gallagher before the England international joined Tottenham in a £35m move.
Having lost the race for Gallagher, Villa have now turned towards Brazilian midfielder Allan, who plays for Palmeiras in his homeland.

And now Emery could see another senior player depart before the end of the window.

He is set to return in the near future however, and could immediately pack his bags and head out on loan to Bramall Lane.
