Aston Villa weigh up formal bid for £44m-valued Luiz Henrique as Unai Emery targets attacking reinforcements, but the Brazilian forward claims he is happy at Real Betis just days after Nico Williams also turned down move

Aston Villa are considering whether to submit a formal bid for Luiz Henrique after enquiring about the Real Betis attacker.

Boss Unai Emery is desperate to sign a wide forward during this transfer window and after Villa’s advances for Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams were rejected, they are scouring the market for alternatives.

Henrique was filmed on social media on Wednesday saying he was happy at Betis, who value the Brazilian at about £44million. The 22-year-old has three goals and five assists in all competitions this term but is regarded as a huge talent.
