According to a report by French outlet RMC Sport, Aston Villa are hoping to sign 28-year-old Paris Saint-Germain attacker Marco Asensio in January, and an exchange deal involving Jhon Duran could be on the cards.
Villa need more quality and depth in the attacking unit and the 28-year-old Spanish international could prove to be a useful acquisition. He is capable of operating in the attacking midfield role as well as in the wide areas. He will add goals and creativity to the side.
Aston Villa have an exciting project and a talented squad. They have secured Champions League qualification for this season and they will be hoping to compete in Europe regularly. They need to bring in better players for that to happen. Asensio has shown his quality for clubs like Real Madrid and PSG. He is certainly good enough to play for Aston Villa. The opportunity to move to the Premier League at this stage of his career could be an exciting one for the Spanish International. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can work out a deal that benefits them.
On the other hand, Duran has been linked with the move away from the West Midlands club, with PSG keen. The Colombian is an exceptional talent and he has shown his ability during his cameos with the West Midlands club. He could prove to be a superb long-term acquisition for PSG.
