Aston Villa boss Emery: I've told Lenglet I need him

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is delighted with the impact of Clement Lenglet.

On-loan from Barcelona, there's suggestions Lenglet could be on the move in January.

Emery said: He is a very good professional and we have been working with him every day, trying to understand our style. He was even coming in when the players had a day off to do extra work.

I am speaking with Lenglet and sending him a message that I am very happy with him. I need him, the team needs him now.

We agreed a contract between the club and him to help us out. There is nothing in my mind which has changed in that relationship."
