Aston Villa winger Jaden Philogene has been linked with a move away from the club.
According to the journalist Alessandro JacoboneAC Milan are keen to sign the 22-year-old winger and see him as a possible replacement for Samuel Chukwueze.
The report mentions the possibility of a trade deal between the two players as well. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa are willing to do such a deal in the near future.
Chukwueze has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past and worked with Unai Emery during their time together at Villarreal.
The Spanish manager will know all about the player and it remains to be seen if he is willing to take the player to the West Midlands club in exchange for Philogene.
A trade deal may not be a great idea
The Aston Villa winger, 22, is under contract with the club until 2029 after joining them in the summer and is highly rated across the country. He could become a key player for the club with the right guidance. Letting him leave the club might not be a wise decision. Having said that, his performances have been underwhelming for Villa.
Also, Chukwueze has not been at his best in recent months and it will be interesting to see if he can regain his top form. He should also adapt to the Premier League.
Aston Villa need more quality in their squad if they want to compete in the Champions League regularly. It remains to be seen if they can plug the gaps in their squad over the next few windows. Unai Emery has assembled a talented squad at Villa Park, but there is still room for improvement if they are to win major trophies.
