Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Garcia has been linked with a move to Aston Villa in recent months, with Unai Emery pushing for his signature.

Gonzalo Garcia needs to leave Real Madrid in search of regular first-team action, and Aston Villa are hoping to get the deal done. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Unai Emery is currently pushing the Premier League club to sign the Spaniard. It will be interesting to see if Aston Villa can get the deal done.

The Villans need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and Garcia would be a solid long-term acquisition. He has the potential to develop into a quality Premier League striker with the right guidance. The youngster needs to play regularly at this stage of his career, and sitting on the bench at Real Madrid will not benefit him.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid are prepared to let the player leave in the coming months. The Spaniard is a tremendous prospect with a bright future, and Real Madrid might not want to lose a player like him anytime soon. However, he will need more opportunities at this stage of his career.

If Real Madrid cannot provide him with that, they should look to cash in on him. Sitting on the bench at Real Madrid will be detrimental to his development. At Aston Villa, he could compete with Ollie Watkins for the starting spot. The 21-year-old is a tremendous talent, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to dislodge the England international from the starting lineup.

Also, Aston Villa have been overly dependent on Watkins, and they need more depth in that area of the pitch. It would be a major coup for them if they managed to sign a tremendous talent like García. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.

If Real Madrid agree to let the player leave, it would probably be on a loan deal so that they can bring him back to the club in the future. Garcia is highly rated at the club, and the Spanish outfit will not want to lose him easily. However, other clubs, including Leeds United, have also shown interest in Garcia.
