Some Aston Villa fans are panicking about all the close the close season departures and turnover, but I am somewhat surprised to be called up for the match day squad against Brighton today. #AVFC

🚨🟣🔵 Leon Goretzka to Aston Villa, here we go! Verbal agreement in place with the German midfielder after direct call with Unai Emery. Verbal green light to #AVFC project with club planning for medical and signature this upcoming week. Documents ready - follows @MatteMoretto.

Aston Villa have now reached an agreement with Leon Goretzka to join as a free agent following his departure from Bayern Munich. A player on Villa's radar for much of the summer, but full focus turned to Goretzka after João Palhinha talks broke down.🟣

Ollie Watkins scored his second hat-trick for Aston Villa as they beat Hibernian 5-0 at Easter Road #OnThisDay in 2023 😍 #AVFC

Aston Villa firm believers that guys you’ve heard of who were good three years ago are the new market inefficiency

And so begins Unai Emery Episode II at Aston Villa. Optimistic about where it goes & got to be patient with new players & youth adapting to his demands. First game I’ve missed in a long time today, so will have to catch up later on Brighton Villa. UP THE VILLA #avfc #utv 🟣🔵

Match day one here we go BRIGHTON away UP THE VILLA! #AVFC #AstonVilla

Villa’s best bit of business may be boring: keep Ollie Watkins. Goretzka is the bigger name, but losing Watkins this late would leave a proper hole up front. #PremierLeague #AstonVilla #Watkins #Goretzka

Almost looks like Aston Villa last year when they didn't have Onana or Kamara. I wonder why.

Leon Goretzka has agreed to join Aston Villa from Bayern Munich on a free transfer. The 31-year-old German midfielder will have his medical next week after Unai Emery personally convinced him to make the move. #Sports #News
