Chelsea winger Alejandro Garnacho is reportedly closing in on a surprise move to Aston Villa, with the Midlands club stepping up efforts to sign the Argentine international during the summer transfer window.
Villa have emerged as the frontrunners for Garnacho’s signature after opening discussions with Chelsea over a deal that could see the 22-year-old remain in the Premier League.
The move comes after a difficult debut season at Stamford Bridge, where Garnacho struggled to secure a regular starting place despite arriving with high expectations.
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is understood to be keen on adding the Argentine winger to his squad as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the new campaign.
Chelsea are reportedly open to allowing Garnacho leave if an acceptable offer is received, as the club continues to reshape its squad during the transfer window.
Negotiations between both clubs are ongoing, with Villa hopeful of reaching an agreement in the coming days.
If completed, the transfer would hand Garnacho a fresh opportunity to revive his career and secure regular first-team football, while Villa would add one of the Premier League’s promising young attackers to their ranks.
