Villa transfer news live - redmond, martinez, rashford, asensio latest

Aston Villa's season ended in the disappointment of missing out on the Champions League, although qualification for the Europa League - a competition Unai Emery has won multiple times -

is a soothing consolation after Villa secured their third straight campaign in European competition at the end of the season. Villa were beaten 2-0 at Manchester United on a day when

Emiliano Martinez was sent off in the first half - whether that's the last we see of the popular Argentine in a Villa shirt remains to be seen, with speculation rife in recent weeks

regarding his own future. Elsewhere, Marcus Rashford has bid farewell, and Marco Asensio has addressed the club's staff and supporters too, after his loan spell ended. Villa will

entertain interest, it's expected, this summer in the likes of Leon Bailey and Jacob Ramsey too, as they strive to remain within the PSR parameters. There'll be incomings, too;

they've been linked with a host of goalkeepers, including Liverpool stopper Caoimhin Kelleher, Espanyol keeper Joan Garcia and, now, Lille number Lucas Chevalier. Robin Olsen has

already left the club and returned to Swedish side Malmo. Make sure to keep tuned in with the BIRMINGHAMLIVE transfer liveblog, which will run throughout Villa's summer window. Join our
