Aston Villa have enjoyed an incredible 2023/24 campaign under Unai Emery.
The Spaniard, often mocked during his time at Arsenal, actually took a team of players like Steven Gerrard and turned them around.
So much so that unless Tottenham win all their remaining Premier League games and Villa lose theirs, they are the latest to be in the Champions League next season.
Morgan Sanson to sign for Nice permanently
That is a respectable consolation for being eliminated from the Europa Conference League this past week.
One player has yet to be part of Villa’s revival under Emery, with Morgan Sanson now set to make his loan move back to Nice permanent.
This is because, according to Get French Football News, Nice is guaranteed to finish in the top eight in Ligue Un and that triggers the option to make his loan move permanent.
Ensuring that another salary does not come off the books at Villa Park gives the club some wiggle room for Financial Fair Play and in the summer transfer market.
