Aston Villa exploring a move for Celta Vigo defender | OneFootball

Aston Villa have been one of the rising stars of the Premier League over the last few years, emphasized by their great form in the Champions League this season.

Rather than rest on their laurels, however, Unai Emery and Co. are already singling out transfers to bolster their squad even further for the months and years to come.

As per reliable transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the team from Birmingham are looking at the possibility of a move for Celta Vigo’s 25-year-old defender Óscar Mingueza.

The highly versatile star has been key for Celta Vigo this season, only missing one match in the league so far this campaign. Mingueza can play anywhere from midfield to defence, centrally or on the right, so he could be a useful squad player to have.

This transfer is still only at the interest stage, so there is nothing concrete to go off right now, but Mingueza could be available for a fee in the region of €20 million, as per TransferMarkt.

Keep an eye on this one over the course of the month, it could be a good signing for Villa should they be able to make it happen.
