# Aston Villa: Fans react to Burchall links

**Several Aston Villa supporters have been reacting to the club’s interest in Bournemouth teenager Ajani Burchall on social media.**

According to an exclusive report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-race-arsenal-leeds-and-west-ham-to-sign-bournemouth-sensation-burchall/), Villa, along with Leeds United, have joined Arsenal and West Ham in the hunt for the 16-year-old’s signature.

Villa have now [registered their interest](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-race-arsenal-leeds-and-west-ham-to-sign-bournemouth-sensation-burchall/) over a summer deal for Burchall, who looks set to leave the Cherries over the coming months after recently [rejecting a scholarship deal](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-race-arsenal-leeds-and-west-ham-to-sign-bournemouth-sensation-burchall/) on the south coast.

Burchall came on for a [three-minute cameo in a 5-0 win over Huddersfield Town back in December](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ajani-burchall/leistungsdaten/spieler/844361), becoming the [club’s third-youngest-ever player in the process](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-aston-villa-race-arsenal-leeds-and-west-ham-to-sign-bournemouth-sensation-burchall/).
