Aston Villa lying in wait as Leeds now under pressure to sell £15k-p/w star

Aston Villa could be set to take advantage of another club's misfortune this summer as they look to bolster their ranks with a raid of a heartbroken Leeds United, it has emerged. After a historic Premier League season for the Villans in which they ensured their return to the Champions League for the first time since the 1980s, they have moved fast to reward Unai Emery for his achievements. The club announced that the Spaniard had penned a new five-year deal at Villa Park on Monday, warding off interest from clubs across Europe in the process. "I am very happy to take this step and the responsibility of leading this club", Emery explained.
