Alejandro Garnacho's season with Aston Villa has shown signs of improvement after a challenging start.

In recent friendlies, Garnacho has made a significant impact by scoring twice. The Birmingham Mail reported that he netted the only goal in a 1-0 victory against Southampton in a closed-door match last week. Following this, Aston Villa faced Sevilla, where they won 3-1, and Garnacho scored again.
While it may still be difficult for him to secure a spot in Unai Emery’s starting lineup, these performances are positive for Garnacho as the Premier League season prepares to resume.
In related news, Chelsea is focusing on improving their defense, as statistics from their first five matches have highlighted significant issues. Jules Kounde continues to be linked to a move to Chelsea, although a transfer in January appears unlikely given the team's current struggles. Xabi Alonso also has important decisions to make during the international break, including integrating Estevao into his squad.
