Aston Villa are expecting to sign several players before the transfer window closes, so says Unai Emery. (More Football News)
However, Emery would no🐷t be drawn on commenting on the status of a loan move for Mancheste🌺r United's Marcus Rashford.
England international Rashford is reportedly clo𒊎se to joining Villa for the rest of the season.
And while Emery would not confirm if a deal for Rashford is in the works, he did reiterate his desire to see more players sign for Villa after the departures of Diego Carlos, Emiliano Buendia and Jhon🌱 Duran, who had scored seven Premier League goals in just 626 minutes of action before he completed a move to Al-Nassr this week.
"We are working to try and get some players to join us on Sunday or Monday," said Emery after Saturday's 2-0 loss to Wolves, in which Villa l♚ost Ollie Watkins to injury.
"It is not easy bec🎉ause we don’t want to replace with players that will not help us like I w🌞ant.
&qu෴ot;We are being v🗹ery demanding [but] we have to be intelligent.
"To sign a striker is not ea🧔sy. We have versatile players and usually Watkins has been consistent, playing matches.
"He is strong at recovering a♍nd playing matches in a row during a week, two or three matches.
"Today he was injured, hopefully it is minor. The idea is to replace Duran with another striker. If we can find a player to help us at the level we want, we will do, but we have versatile pl🤡ayers.
"We have to compete a🅠nd try to get the level we want with the players we have and I think🐬 we will be adding two or three more players."
Expanding on Watkins' injury, Emery said: "I changed him because he was feeling a little bit of pain in his muscle. Hopefully, we will test him and check him and it is not෴ going to be something [serious]."
Villa were second best against Wolves, who snapped a four-game﷽ losing streak in the Premier League.
However, Donyell Malen had a go💝al contentiously disallowed for a Morgan Rog🅷ers offside.
The VAR deemed Rog🌱ers to have interfered with plaღy.
"It's aಞ VAR task, I believe in VAR," Emery said. "But sometimes, I think the🐭y make mistakes."
