Unai Emery now urges Monchi to make Aston Villa bid for £8 million player

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has urged the club's director of football operations, Monchi, to make an offer for a 30-year-old player who he thinks would be a "key" summer signing. Following Thursday night's disappointing night in Greece, with Olympiacos cementing their place in the Conference League final at Villa's expense, Emery has pleaded for his Villa side to get back on track as they soon host Liverpool on Monday.
