Aston Villa have Johan Manzambi transfer solution, he was sensational for Switzerland vs Bosnia

Aston Villa have certainly been given plenty of motivation to sign Switzerland's Johan Manzambi in the ongoing transfer window.

The Freiburg midfielder secured a brace as Murat Yakin's team beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1 in the 2026 World Cup at Los Angeles Stadium on 18 June.

Unai Emery witnessed the 20-year-old's qualities first-hand as the Villans beat the Bundesliga outfit to lift the Europa League trophy in May.

Villa could potentially soon have to find a replacement for Morgan Rogers and Manzambi should be on their list after his sensational performance for Switzerland.

The young, versatile attacker showcased his qualities in the final third with two impressive finishes to secure a crucial three points for his national side.

Manzambi is capable of playing in tight spaces behind the striker, arguably making him the perfect solution if Rogers were to move on from Villa Park this summer.

Manzambi replaced Dan Ndoye in the 71st minute and occupied spaces in the middle, with his most consequential touches coming in the final third.

As per Sofascore, the youngster scored from the two total shots he attempted, had 22 touches of the ball, recorded three progressive carries and completed 69 per cent of his passes.

Despite having an xG of only 0.51, the Freiburg prospect found the back of the net twice, indicating the immense quality of his finishes.

Manzambi has a contract until 2030 with the Bundesliga outfit, and if he continues to deliver such performances at the World Cup, clubs like Villa may have to spend a significant sum to sign him.

Morgan Rogers exit feels inevitable at Villa Park

Sources told Football Insider in April that Bayern Munich had Rogers on their radar and were interested in signing him this summer.

Considering the quality of teams possibly in the race for the former Middlesbrough ace and England international, the Lions shouldn't be surprised if he leaves soon and Manzambi feels like a perfect successor.

The 23-year-old moved to Villa Park for an initial £8million fee and the B6 club are in line to make a hefty profit off of him.
