#3 Jota
Jota arrived at Villa Park this season as only the second player in this millennium to directly move from Birmingham to Aston Villa.
It should have been the perfect signing for Dean Smith. The two had previously worked in Brentford, and the move sounded like a great deal for the Villains on paper. However, as destiny may have it, Aston Villa barely escaped relegation as Jota failed to adjust to the league.
The winger looked out of place in the Premier League all season. Despite high praise from his manager, Jota made just 12 appearances and scored one goal across all competitions.
With just under a year left in his contract and the player at his peak years, Aston Villa should look to cash in on the out-of-favour winger.

#4 Orjan Nyland
Since his arrival in 2018, Orjan Nyland has made 30 appearances, with just seven of them coming in the Premier League. Even in the seven matches, the Norweigian has looked shaky in between the sticks.
Doubts about Nyland was one of the reasons for Aston Villa to bring in Pepe Reina during the January transfer window.
With just under a year remaining in his contract and the Villans stacked up in the goalkeeper department, it is time to let go of the Norweigian.
#5 Henri Lansbury
Once the cream of the crop in the Arsenal academy, Henri Lansbury is now surplus to requirements at Villa Park. The midfielder joined Aston Villa in 2017 and was a crucial part of the side in his first season.
However, from the succeeding season onwards, Lansbury found himself more on the bench rather than on the field. The 29-year old has almost been a permanent fixture on the bench.
Since the arrival of Dean Smith, the midfielder has made just 13 league appearance - 8 of them from the bench.
With Lansbury not in the manager's plan, Aston Villa should look to offload the out-of-favour midfielder and invest elsewhere.
