Aston Villa could be about to pull off elite signing as Allan's 58.2% and 2.87 stats revealed

Aston Villa are accelerating a move for Palmeiras winger Allan after submitting a formal offer.

Reports emerged on Tuesday that the Birmingham outfit have had a package deal worth £25.7million rejected from the Brazilian club.

Palmeiras are keen to keep hold of the 22-year-old this summer as they prepare for the second half of their campaign.

However, a second bid from Unai Emery’s side is yet to be ruled out, with Villa clearly keen on bringing in a new winger this summer.

Morgan Rogers’ record departure to Chelsea has left a clear hole in the squad that is yet to be filled.

Now, reflecting on Allan’s stats from the current campaign, everything indicates that he could be an elite signing for Villa if they can get a deal done.

Allan’s stats are excellent for Palmeiras

Allan’s quality in the Brazilian Serie A is already well documented.

Despite being just 22 years old, he has already established himself as a key player in the starting XI.

This is reflected in his stats, with Fotmob on 29 July reporting that he has averaged 0.29 goals, a 0.14 xG, 1.98 shots, 0.88 shots on target, 0.15 assists, 1.18 chances created, 2.87 dribbles and a 58.2 per cent dribble success rate per 90 minutes.

On top of this, he also helps out defensively, winning 7.57 duels, 50.2 per cent of his attempted duels, 1.84 tackles, 0.51 interceptions and 3.89 recoveries per game.

Therefore, if ge’s report is correct about Villa’s interest and they go on to eventually complete the signing, everything indicates that he could be a hit in the Premier League.

How does Allan compare to Morgan Rogers?

If Allan is brought in, he will likely be seen as a replacement for Rogers among much of the fanbase.

When comparing the Brazilian’s stats to those of the now-Chelsea star, many are extremely similar.

Rogers’ attacking output last season in the Premier League was strikingly similar to that of Allan’s, with Fotmob claiming that he averaged 0.27 goals, a 0.19 xG, 2.30 shots, 0.88 shots on target, 0.16 assists, 1.29 chances created, 1.15 dribbles and a 35.6 per cent dribble success rate per 90 minutes.

Therefore, this once again indicates that Allan would be a hit in the Premier League if Villa can get a deal over the line.
