This season, Emeli is in charge of Aston Villa, and his former disciple Gouandous is also expected to return to the Premier League stage. It is reported that Villa is preparing to throw the olive branch to Marseille at a total price of 40 million euros, and strive to make this deal in January when the transfer window opens.
RMCsport disclosed that Emery strongly recommended Guandus to Villa, expecting to bring in the French World Cup midfielder from Marseille on the basis of a transfer fee of 30 million euros, plus a floating bonus of 10 million euros. Marseille have given a response that they are willing to release the player as long as the offer is right.
Gouandous, 23, is currently valued at around €25 million. He has been at Arsenal since the age of 18 with Emery and has had a number of appearances. However, after Amery's departure, his chances of playing for Arsenal plummeted and he was subsequently loaned out to Havana Berlin and Marseille. Last season, he officially joined Marseille and left the Premier League.
Gouandous has been a solid performer in Ligue 1, scoring 5 goals in 56 appearances for Marseille last season and contributing 3 goals in 22 games this season. Not long ago, he was selected for the French national team for the Qatar World Cup and played in one match. Emery returns to the Premier League to coach Villa this season with the intention of expanding his squad during the January transfer window, and he expects Guendouzi to follow him back to the Premier League for another successful campaign.
