Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing up a move for Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos heading into the January transfer window.
A report from Eldesmarque claims that Aston Villa are keen on 27-year-old Real Madrid midfielder Dani Ceballos. The Villans were also interested in him this past summer, and it remains to be seen whether they can sign him during the January transfer window.
Ceballos has previously played in the Premier League with Arsenal, and he could be attracted to the idea of playing under Unai Emery during the second half of the campaign. He is not a regular starter for Carlo Ancelotti at Real Madrid, and a player of his quality deserves better.
The 27-year-old has shown his quality in La Liga over the years, and he is certainly good enough to play regularly in the Premier League. Aston Villa, who were keen in the summer, could provide him with the platform and it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Real Madrid have signed a number of quality midfielders in recent transfer windows, and they have enough depth in their squad. A lucrative offer for the 27-year-old midfielder could tempt them into selling him.
Aston Villa have put together an impressive squad under Emery, and they will be competing in Europe this season. They will be hoping to push for UEFA Champions League qualification this term, and someone like Ceballos could improve them immensely.
The Spaniard will add technical ability, composure and control in the middle of the park. It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa can secure agreement with Real Madrid now. The presence of a quality manager like Emery at the helm will certainly help the West Midlands club when it comes to convincing the player.
Emery has proven himself at multiple clubs, and the 27-year-old midfielder might be open to playing under him. The Premier League side certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with a concrete proposal to sign the midfielder in January.
