Emery doesn't give up: Aston Villa goes after two stars playing in Spain

Aston Villa does not give up and will go after two key players from Villarreal: Álex Baena and Juan Foyth. After failing to secure their signings in the winter transfer window, the team led by Unai Emery plans to persist in the upcoming transfer window to strengthen their squad with two high-quality players. However, they won't be alone in the bid, as Arsenal and Tottenham also have their sights set on the talented Spanish midfielder.

Álex Baena has become one of the standout figures at Villarreal in recent years. With his creative ability and offensive impact, he has been crucial to the team's setup, tallying five goals and five assists in 21 matches this season. His performance has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, who see him as a midfielder with potential and quality to make a difference.

On the other hand, Juan Foyth has evolved as a defender since joining Villarreal, establishing himself as a solid and versatile full-back. The Argentine, a World Cup champion in 2022, has proven his worth at the Spanish club, and his Premier League experience with Tottenham makes him an appealing target for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa's interest in Foyth and Baena makes sense as the club aims to strengthen its squad for a possible European competition qualification. However, Arsenal and Tottenham are also closely monitoring Baena, which could complicate negotiations.

The summer will be crucial in determining the future of both players. Aston Villa is determined to bolster its squad with talent from La Liga but will need to move swiftly if they want to secure their signings ahead of their rivals.
