“He is adapting very well to our style,” Emery said to เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา.

“When we spoke to him, even before he went to Paris, we spoke to him to try the challenge of the Premier League as a number 10.”

When the chance emerged to sign Asensio on loan in January, it was an opportunity Emery was never going to waste again.

During those negotiations, Asensio was assured that he would be a No 10 for Villa and given the licence to play in his preferred position

He decided to come to us because we planned to use him in our best position.

“He is showing his desire to bring his own qualities, to link up with our midfield, to the strikers and to the wingers. And he has the ability to score goals, as he did today.”
