Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is contemplating the future of French midfielder Morgan Sanson.

When Sanson signed for the club, many Villa fans felt that he had what it takes to become a regular.

However, he has struggled for regular game time, and was only used once so far this season.

Per Birmingham Live, he has until the summer to sort out his future at the club.

Emery will give everyone a chance to prove their worth, but Sanson must get a run of starts if he is to get a stay of execution.

Otherwise, Villa will look to cash in on him to fund Emery's spending plans.
