I think depending on whether Bentancur recovers and/or Bissouma gets fit after his malaria/ if he can return to form, I’d prioritise a proper number 6, as well as a quick attacking winger. An ITK - I think it might’ve been Hercules - said that proper number 6’s are the hardest to find. If Villa miss out on CL and are struggling with FFP, Douglas Luiz would be perfect. Maybe Johan knows of any clauses he might have in his contract!?
As far as wingers go, Id go for someone with a similar skill set to Jeremy Doku. Infact, Pep is going to need to do quite a balancing act there with Doku and Grealish not given much of a look in. Marcus Rashford may even benefit from a change of scenery, would fit in as another durable forward option, plus is homegrown. Wages for any of those 3 would be significant you’d think.
Perhaps in amongst our group of very young midfielders, an experienced player who’s won lots might be useful to calm everyone down for the last 20 mins of games too. Toni Kroos is out of contract in the summer or Jordan Henderson will only have a year left at Ajax and would be homegrown.
In - Lloyd Kelly (free), Douglas Luiz, Jordan Henderson, top winger
Out - Ryan Sessegnon, Pierre Emile Hojbjerg, Giovani Lo Celso, Bryan Gil
