With only 14 games remaining in the Premier League season, Aston Villa is still in contention for one of the top spots that would secure them a place in the Champions League. Despite being just one point behind Tottenham Hotspur, other teams are starting to pull away, including Arsenal who are six points ahead despite being only two places above Villa in the table. Unai Emery, Villa’s manager, also has the added challenge of the Europa Conference League, but winning that trophy would surely be a priority for him. While securing a direct spot in the Europa League next season would be beneficial, a place in the Champions League would be the ultimate goal for Villa.
One potential signing that Villa could consider before the end of the season, in preparation for the 2024/25 campaign, is Gabriel Osho from Luton Town. According to transfer expert Dean Jones, Villa, Fulham, and Crystal Palace are among the clubs keeping an eye on the defender, whose contract is set to expire in the summer. Osho, 25, has had an impressive rise in the football world since his loan spell at Rochdale three years ago. He played a crucial role in Luton’s promotion-winning team last season and has been a regular starter this season, impressing with his ability to handle Premier League attackers. As a result, several clubs are closely monitoring his performances.
Luton Town, under the guidance of manager Rob Edwards, have been performing well in their first-ever Premier League season. However, they are currently just one point above the relegation zone. As the season progresses, Edwards will face the challenge of keeping his team in the top flight. If Luton fails to avoid relegation and Osho does not agree to a new contract, Villa could be in a strong position to secure his services.
