Aston Villa is enjoying an impressive season.
With just four losses in the Premier League so far, Villa currently sits in third place, only six points behind Arsenal.
They have secured victories against top teams like Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Manchester United this season, proving their strength against the big clubs.
What makes their position even more remarkable is that it took them five games to score their first goal this season.
Morgan Rogers and Ollie Watkins have stepped up recently, each netting four goals in Villa’s last six Premier League matches.
As the season progresses, Villa is looking to strengthen their midfield, reportedly reaching a verbal agreement with Atletico Madrid for Conor Gallagher.
Gallagher joined Atletico from Chelsea for £33 million in August 2024 but had difficulty securing a place in Diego Simeone’s starting lineup.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, Gallagher is eager to get regular playing time to secure a spot on the national team under his former manager, Thomas Tuchel.
His exit from Chelsea disappointed many fans who appreciated his work rate and energy on the pitch.
Gallagher will be a valuable addition to Villa, helping them manage the busy schedule of Premier League, UEFA Europa League, and potential FA Cup matches.
He brings significant Premier League experience from his time at Chelsea and a loan period at Crystal Palace.
Despite Manchester United showing interest in Gallagher, Villa seems to have successfully secured his signing.
