According to FootballTransfers, Aston Villa are still interested in signing former Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli.
According to sources, head coach Unai Emery is eager to sign the Moroccan international from Real Betis during the January transfer window. The need to add a left-sided forward to his team is a primary priority at Villa Park.
According to our sources, the former La Masia wonderkid has been identified as the prime target for that post.
Personal conditions were formally agreed upon between Villa and the 21-year-old during the last transfer window, but a valuation disparity with Barcelona resulted in Ez Abdi’s transfer to Betis.
Villa regard Abde as one of their primary goals next month as they try to capitalize on the Midlands teams’ excellent start to the season.
However, we understand that Emery may face criticism from the Real Betis owners as a result of a dispute with sporting director Monchi when he was at his former post in Seville.
In 2022. Monchi received backlash after celebrating on the pitch after a derby match while at Sevilla, resulting in strained relations with Betis.
Who is Ez Abde?
Abde is recognized for his lightning-quick pace, power, and skill with both feet. He can play on the left but has also played on the right. Despite being labeled ‘raw’ by Barcelona during his time at the Nou Camp, Villa think they have found a potential star in Ezzalzouli.
