From the source
Aston Villa have enjoyed an encouraging start to the 2026/27 campaign, with Unai Emery’s side beating Manchester City 2-1 on October 24. That result reinforced confidence in a team that has reshaped its goalkeeping department after Emiliano Martínez left for Chelsea.
Villa recruited Japan international Zion Suzuki from Parma for a reported £26m, and the 24-year-old has established himself as Emery’s first choice. His distribution suits Villa’s build-up play, while Marco Bizot provides experienced cover.
With those positions filled, another major investment between the posts would require a compelling sporting reason. However, Villa’s recruitment team have continued monitoring South American talent, suggesting they still assess options beyond their current squad.
