Aston Villa captain John McGinn is confident manager Unai Emery will get it right in the summer market.

McGinn says character will be as important as quality in any new teammate.

“It's not always the right thing to do, is it? We have splashed the cash before and it has not worked," said McGinn.

“It has to the right character and the right player. I think with this manager, he will pick the right people to bring this forward, this project.

“This is what I envisaged when I signed. This is what the owners envisaged. There have been plenty of bumps along the way but here we are now. It is a really exciting time. If you want to attract top players they demand European football and we have that now."
