Unai Emery’s Aston Villa have now reportedly joined David Moyes’s West Ham United in the race for Denis Zakaria, a player Mauricio Pochettino told Chelsea not to sign on a permanent contract this summer.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Aston Villa are now trying to sign West Ham United target and former Chelsea loanee Denis Zakaria from Juventus in the summer transfer window.
The Italian publication has claimed that West Ham and Juventus have been in talks over Zakaria for weeks.
No agreement has been found between the Hammers and the Bianconeri.
Aston Villa have now entered the race for the Switzerland international and have taken information about the former Chelsea loanee.
Zakaria spent the 2022-23 season on loan at the Blues from Juventus.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on May 30 that new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino personally decided not to include the 26-year-old in his plans.
Romano reported earlier this month that Juventus are ready to offload Zakaria on a permanent basis this summer.
During his loan spell at Chelsea last season, the 26-year-old made five starts and two substitute appearances in the Premier League and one substitute appearance in the FA Cup.
Denis Zakaria could thrive at Aston Villa under Unai Emery
In our opinion, Denis Zakaria could flourish at Aston Villa under former Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain manager Unai Emery.
The defensive midfielder struggled at Chelsea last season, but so did most of the players at the club.
It was a truly terrible season for Chelsea.
Things could be better for the £52,000-a-week (SalarySport) Zakaria at another club.
Yes, Juventus want to get rid of the Swiss star now, but that the former Serie A and UEFA Champions League winners signed him in the first place shows just how good he is.
