Aston Villa boss Unai Emery says they'll be buying in January.

Villa splashed roughly £90million on new players while Steven Gerrard was in charge, and Emery will also be backed to improve his squad next month.

"We are working now about something we can add when the new transfer market opens," Emery said on Villa TV.

"I am so happy with with players we have, but someone could leave and someone could I think can add to help us. We are working, we are moving in the direction to try to really add someone or add players who could help us improve our performance, including to be ready in the squad, help us be clear, good players, good performance and trying to be together for the way we want to play."

He added: "I am so excited when I arrived here, I am so excited now and I am excited by the team we have now and the players we can add in the transfer market. It's not easy the January transfer market and it's not easy to have the possibility to add players to clearly improve the squad but we are going to move to try to do it.

"The players that are here now are the most important players because on Monday and next Sunday we play two big and tough matches. We can move in the short future to add but the club is working and we are trying to look for something really really important or players to help on the pitch and on the squad, to help add some different profiles and characteristics."
