Villa defender Konsa: Our personal double dream is alive

Aston Villa's dream double is on this season, according to one of their key players.

Centre half Ezri Konsa is confident they can finish in the top four and win a trophy.

Villa are fourth in the Premier League, while they are pushing on in the Europa Conference League.

Konsa told reporters on manager Unai Emery and their desire to win silverware: “We know this is an opportunity to win a trophy and from the beginning of the season, or even since the boss joined, that is what he wanted to do.

“He wants to win a trophy with us and that's what we're trying to do now.

“The mentality he has implemented has really paid off and we are showing it. We've had a lot of setbacks in our squad but it has not ruined our form or position in the league.

“No matter who is playing, everyone knows their roles so they are confident when they do get the chance. We all have the mentality of wanting to win every single game and we are showing it - no matter how small our squad is."
