Oscar Mingueza has been linked with a move away from Spanish club Celta Vigo at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old will be a free agent in the summer, and the Spanish outfit has failed to secure a contract agreement with him so far. Aston Villa and West Ham United are keen on the defender, and he’s likely to move on.

The Spanish club is hoping to keep him beyond this season and has already offered him an extension. However, the two parties have not been able to come to an agreement. Mingueza has recently switched agents, and Celta Vigo have had no talks with his new representatives about a new deal, according to Estadio Deportivo.

The situation will be a boost for Aston Villa and West Ham United. It remains to be seen which of the two clubs can get the deal done. They need more quality and depth in the defensive unit, and the 27-year-old could be ideal for them. He has the quality and the experience to thrive in English football, and the opportunity to move to England will be exciting for the player as well. He is at the peak of his career, and this is the right time for him to take on a fresh challenge.

Aston Villa is pushing for Champions League qualification and needs a deeper, higher-quality squad next season. The 27-year-old right back could be a very useful option for them.

Meanwhile, West Ham is fighting for survival in the Premier League. The defender might want to join a competitive team and Aston Villa is likely to be a more attractive destination for him..
