A look ahead to deadlines…

00:00 What can we expect from now until the deadline? Is there still business for Unai Emery to
00:07 do until then?
00:09 There definitely is some business, yeah. Up top/attacking midfield, there will be some
00:14 business done because Emi Buendia, heartbreaking injury for him, he's just been in fantastic
00:19 form in pre-season. He's just done his ACL, his knee, so he's going to be out for about
00:23 six to nine months is what Unai Emery has confirmed after a scan. So they're looking
00:28 at Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray, someone that Tottenham have been looking at recently
00:34 and someone that Juventus have also looked to sign. I think him as a player, he'd prefer
00:39 to go to Juventus, he's made that pretty clear. But Villa are trying their best, about £25
00:44 to £30 million is what will take a deal to happen. I believe £30 million is the player's
00:48 release clause. So that will be an amazing signing, really. You can't doubt that. He's
00:53 European quality, he's had all that experience in the Champions League, Europa League, etc.
00:58 In Serie A, Galatasaray, not quite the same level in Turkey, but he scored I believe five
01:02 in ten games last season, which is a very good return. He's averaging a direct goal
01:07 involvement every 60 minutes. So, exciting player, Fnatic, don't think you can really
01:12 go wrong.
