Donyell Malen signs, Jhon Duran exit, key issue fixed – Aston Villa dream January transfer Aston Villa faces a crucial decision as the January transfer window opens. Despite hopes of Champions League qualification, the team currently sits eighth in the Premier League. Manager Unai Emery must address defensive issues, particularly at right-back, with Oscar Mingueza emerging as a potential target. In attack, Donyell Malen is reportedly set to join, replacing Moussa Diaby. To comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules, Villa may consider selling homegrown players like Jaden Philogene. However, the club must resist selling key asset Jhon Duran to Barcelona in January, as it would weaken the squad.
