Aston Villa manager Unai Emery appears to have ruled out a winter move for Barcelona loanee Clement Lenglet by insisting his club “need” the defender.
Lenglet was linked with a move away after struggling for game time but things do appear to have changed recently.
The Frenchman has started the team’s last three Premier League matches, and Emery has made it clear he wants to keep hold of the defender.
“Lenglet is a very good professional. He even came when the players had a day off to do extra work. I speak to Lenglet and send him a message that I’m very happy with him,” he said.
