Aston Villa boss Emery declares Lenglet transfer stand

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery insists he wants to keep hold of Clement Lenglet.

The defender is on-loan at Villa from Barcelona and has been linked with a move away in January

But Emery said on Thursday: “I am very happy with him.

“His commitment in every training session is amazing. He is a very good professional and always ready to play. The last matches he was sick. He was with us in Zrinjski.

“He was better at Brentford but still a little bit sick. Other players maybe wouldn’t be with the squad if they were feeling like he was.

“Tomorrow, if everything is going well, I think he is going to play. I am wishing to see him and am really very excited about how he will help us tomorrow and in the next matches.

“I want to keep him because we need players for the challenges we are going to face this season.”
