Aston Villa boss Unai Emery revealed the club will seek to bring in reinforcements before the end of the transfer window after falling to a 1-0 defeat to Brentford.

Following confirmation of Ramsey’s exit, skipper John McGinn and defender Tyrone Mings both took aim at the rules restricting what Villa can spend in the transfer market.

Unai Emery spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Aston Villa's defeat against Brentford: "We reacted well to going behind, we created chances but didn't score. There are some things tactically we need to improve. In the first half and second half we had chances to score. We had corners and we had a lot of crosses.
