Villa's manager, Unai Emery, has a good understanding of Guendouzi's abilities, having worked with him during his time at Arsenal.

Emery believes that Guendouzi's best years as a player are still ahead of him and would be pleased if he were to join the team at Villa Park.

Lazio is planning to sell Guendouzi for a price between €25-30 million, and Sunderland is also keeping a close eye on the situation.
