Emery sees Christie as an ideal midfield foil for Villa captain and Scotland teammate John McGinn.
Christie’s versatility is appreciated by Emery, knowing the midfielder can play in attack and also deeper as a midfield anchor.
The 31 year-old is now well inside the final 18 months of his Bournemouth contract.
