Aston Villa Recruitment Plan 2022-2023

Selected Long List Recommendations
Attacking Midfielders
(In no particular order)
Player Team Notes
Lee Kangin Mallorca to PSG
Possibly should have acted sooner (Jan) and made an
initial offer. First in this report but has since signed for
PSG (info available on request).
Iuri Medeiros Sporting Braga
95% similarity match to Pedro Goncalves. Left footed
inverted winger who plays off the right-hand side in
Braga’s 442 system. Since moved to Al Nasr in the
UAE.
David Costa RC Lens
Right footed AM who has played as one of two no. 10’s
on the left or right. More a creative force rather than a
goalscoring one which puts him onto the long list
Strikers\Center Forwards
(In no particular order)
Player Team Notes
Moussa Dembele Lyon
Available on a free and still a possible option. Poor
goals return in 22\23.
Terem Moffi Nice
6ft 2” striker who has scored 18 goals in 33 apps for
Nice (on loan from Lorient at the time) from 15.5 xG.
0.56 NPG90 in 22\23. Permanent transfer to Nice as
part of loan.
Martin Terrier Rennes
ACL injury in Jan 22’ put paid to any possible transfer.
12 goals and 5 assists in 22 games (all comps) before
the injury. Super talent and a player I profiled last
summer for Villa.
