Premier League news conferences and transfer updates as it happened

Aston Villa

And finally from Aston Villa boss Unai Emery on the project of the club: “Sometimes I am telling the players that Aston Villa won the Champions League in 1982. It’s one important date for Aston Villa as a club, and it helps to explain to players the history.

“The last history of Aston Villa is progressively getting better, but five years ago they were in the Championship. With the new project, with the history, with the new way we want to create here, it’s about trying to be contenders and be consistent.

“We have to think that we have to be in the top ten, we have to be in the top eight, we have to be in the top six and we have to try to be progressively stronger, getting in the top four like last year.

“This is the way we have to confirm it, like we did last year, being consistent. This is the message I want here; players being hungry to improve, hungry to get another level higher as a club and individually.

“To achieve the objectives we are facing, dreaming is very difficult, but I want to dream and work hard to get it. At the moment we are in a good way but there’s still a lot of work to do to continue being consistent like I want.”
