Unai Emery has surprised many Aston Villa fans by announcing that the club’s January transfer window is complete. Villa have agreed terms and a fee for Middlesbrough forward Morgan Rogers, but the club had been linked with a midfielder and another attacker before the transfer window closes on Thursday.
Rogers will sign a long term contract at Villa Park in a deal worth a reported £25 million and will be available to play Villa’s next game. Villa slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle at home yesterday, and many fans are concerned that this could signal a reverse in fortunes.
When asked if Villa would sign anymore new players, Unai Emery responded: “Definitely not.”
Emery appears confident that Rogers is the only new player that he needs: “Hopefully we can sign him and he can start his new chapter here. We are motivated and excited to work with him. He’s a young player, he can adapt to our style of play. Hopefully tomorrow he can sign and can start working with us and exploiting his qualities as a player.”
