El Ghazi left Villa in the summer of 2022 after being sold for a reported £3.5m to Dutch side PSV. He admitted he didn’t want to leave Villa Park, but had to leave after falling out of favour under Steven Gerrard.
“It was really important for me and I made a decision on the back of how much the club really wanted me,” said the attacker in an interview with The Athletic last year.
“On the other side, I didn’t want to leave. I really wanted to stick with Villa.
“But I had one year left only, a manager who really didn’t want me there and had I stayed there…well, it was just so difficult.”
