Chelsea have maintained an interest in signing Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United for a large part of the ongoing summer transfer window.
However, according to a report by CaughtOffside, the winger is now open to joining Chelsea’s Premier League rivals, Aston Villa.
The South American attacker has been linked with a move away from Old Trafford, and he wants to continue in English football.
The player has reportedly done his homework on Aston Villa manager Unai Emery, and he is excited about the possibility of working with him.
A move to Villa Park does make sense for Garnacho as the Villans could use his services to add more depth and quality to their attacking unit.
Having scored 11 goals and picked up 10 assists in all competitions last season, he is versatile enough to operate on either flank and will help create opportunities for his teammates and open up deep defences for Aston Villa.

Aston Villa face competition from Chelsea and Spurs for Garnacho
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are lacking in depth in the wide areas as well. The 21-year-old will add unpredictability, pace and technical ability to the side.
He would be a long-term prospect, and it remains to be seen whether the London clubs decide to come forward with an offer for him.
Tottenham have already maintained contact with him, and Chelsea are admirers of the player as well.
