The January transfer market opened at the start of the week and Aston Villa have been linked with a swoop to sign an intriguing teenage winger.
Roony Bardghji’s transfer to Aston Villa
According to a report published by AstonVillaNews, the team is looking to sign Copenhagen forward Roony Bardghji before the end of the month.
According to the newspaper, the Villans have already dispatched scouts to observe him in action this season in hopes of securing his signature.
This comes after HITC revealed earlier this week that the Danish team was seeking a fee of roughly £20 million, and that teams including Villa, Brentford, and Newcastle United had been contacted over his availability.
With the 18-year-old prodigy joining Villa Park, Unai Emery might suddenly find Ollie Watkins another thrilling companion at the top of the pitch.
The stats for Ollie Watkins’ season
This season in the Premier League, the England international has been at the top of his game both as a goal scorer and a creator for the club.
With 20 appearances this season, he has already scored nine goals in the top flight, making him the only player with at least three more than any of his colleagues, with Douglas Luiz’s six goals coming in second.
In addition, the 28-year-old marksman has eye-catching eight assists for his teammates, at least three more than any other player in the team and ahead of Leon Bailey’s five.
These numbers demonstrate Watkins’ ability to score and assist goals at a high rate. If he can give Bardghji the opportunities he needs in front of goal, he may be an excellent partner. Watkins is worth £20 million.
The numbers that demonstrate Roony Bardghji’s amazing potential
The Copenhagen star, who has been in excellent form this season, might provide Emery with another thrilling center-forward partner.
The 18-year-old wizard has drawn attention in the Superliga with seven goals and two “big chances” produced in 14 starts. Scout Jacek Kulig once praised the player as a “magician” and “outstanding” talent.
Watkins, the aforementioned player, is the only Villa player with more than six league goals this season, indicating that Bardghji might be a terrific goal scorer for the team if he can carry over his form to English football.
The adolescent wizard has also demonstrated his abilities on the grandest platform in the Champions League, scoring against Manchester United, a Premier League team, as you can see in the table above.
The Villa target, who is 18 years old, has plenty of time to grow and develop over the next few years. Rather than being a quick acquisition for Emery, he might arrive as a player who can have a long-term influence.
Watkins, who can create for the winger and score off the Swedish gem’s inventiveness, may find himself with a deadly companion if Bardghji could maintain and even improve upon his current form for Copenhagen.
