Villarreal playmaker Dani Parejo eyeing up summer switch to the Premier League… with the 34-year-old Spaniard sounding out Aston Villa due to relationship with boss Unai Emery
Villarreal pass master Dani Parejo is eyeing a return to England at the age of 34, as revealed in Mail Sport‘s Transfer Confidential by Simon Jones.
Having played 41 consecutive matches for Villarreal this season, Parejo will miss the forthcoming fixture against Girona as he’s suspended for accumulation of yellow cards.
Parejo regularly tops the passing statistics charts and has amassed almost 2,000 completed passes.

Aston Villa are among those to have been sounded out because of Parejo’s relationship with Unai Emery but others are weighing up an offer.
