Sun: Villa wants to sign Lewin without signing, Emery urgently needs to strengthen the offensive end

July 28th The Sun reported that Aston Villa joined the Lewin battle.

Villa has asked the striker about salary requirements, and coach Emery hopes to strengthen the forward configuration. Lewin, 28, left the team as a free agent after nine years at Everton. Currently, many clubs including AC Milan and Newcastle are interested in it.

As loan players Rashford and Asensio have not returned, Emery urgently needs to strengthen the two attackers. Villa, who is still striving to meet UEFA's profit and sustainable development rules, is seeking more cost-effective signings, and the freelance Lewin meets this condition. If the top scorer Watkins is poached by Manchester United or Newcastle, Lewin will also provide guarantees for the team.

Last season, Lewin missed the last 14 games due to a hamstring injury, scoring 3 goals in only 26 games. His most recent Premier League start dates back to January this year against Tottenham.
