Aston Villa Target Europa League Win

Jan 23, 2026

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has set his sights on winning the Europa League. 

He reckons this is their best way for them to qualify for next season's Champions League. 

It's because he doubts that Villa can finish within the qualifying spots in the Premier League.  

This, after Villa confirmed their place in the Europea League last-16 after beating Fenerbahce 1-0 in their penultimate group match.  

They are level with Lyon at the top of the standings, behind the French club on goal difference.

Arsenal may consider signing a new attacker in the current transfer window.  

According to reports, it's because Kai Havertz has suffered another setback in his recovery from a serious knee injury. 

He suffered the injury on the opening day of the season, and since then he has only made a few substitute appearances in cup competitions.

Man United are ready to offer Kobbie Mainoo a new contract after he regained his starting lineup under interim boss Michael Carrick.  

Mainoo has one and a half years in his current deal, and they want to tie him down for the long-term amid interest from clubs like Napoli.
