Aston Villa are considering making a move for Celta Vigo star Emre Mor.

According to The Sun, the Midlands club are ready to overlook the player’s disciplinary issues and swoop for the youngster this summer, as are fellow newly promoted Premier League clubs Norwich City and Sheffield United.

Celta are said to be considering letting the player leave for nothing given his issues.

The club’s former head coach Juan Carlos Unzue once criticised him publicly and sent him home from training. He’s also had issues with former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel.

Despite the continual issues Mor has had throughout his career, he remains a very talented winger.

TBR’s view

Mor could be worth the gamble if there really would be little to no cost to sign him.

The 21-year-old was once billed as one of Europe’s hottest prospects, and was even likened to Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi at one point (UEFA.com).

His effortless dribbling and impressive pace still make him a hugely dangerous opponent.

But it would seem Mor has something of an ego, which would make him a big risk in terms of keeping the dressing room harmonious.

Villa will be aiming to secure their Premier League safety come May 2020 and Mor is a player that, if his head can be kept in the game by Dean Smith, can help the club achieve that.
