Unai Emery says selling Jaden Philogene to Ipswich for £23million is the best deal for Villa. The 22-year-old winger is leaving just six months after returning to the club in a £13.5m switch from Hull last July, a move heavily pushed for by Emery.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is hopeful Leon Bailey will grow in confidence after he scored his first goal of the season against Leicester City this afternoon. Villa took the lead through Barkley just before the hour mark, but were pegged back shortly after as Stephy Mavididi scored at the far post following a strong save from Emi Martinez.

The absence of Pau Torres for a longer period is a bigger problem, not least because Villa are not so well-stocked in defence. The unavailability of Diego Carlos last Saturday appeared to pick Emery's back four for him.

Aston Villa have kept just two clean sheets in 20 games this term, which is the joint second-lowest total in the Premier League.

Aston Villa are pushing to find an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign Donyell Malen. The Dutch international is Unai Emery's priority target to add more pace and versatility to his forward options.
