# Aston Villa: Fans react to Dwight McNeil update

**Aston Villa are reportedly frontrunners in their pursuit of Burnley talisman Dwight McNeil, with Everton also keen on his services \[[Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/dwight-mcneil-everton-transfer-breaking-21086784)\].**

Enjoying a productive 2020/21 campaign, the 21-year-old registered seven goal contributions from 40 appearances; two goals and five assists \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dwight-mcneil/leistungsdaten/spieler/584769/plus/0?saison=2020)\].

Now garnering attention from bigger Premier League sides, he could have a decision to make over his Turf Moor future this summer.

The Villains are thought to be in pole position to acquire the wide-man, however Everton are also in the hunt for natural wingers who would cost around £25 million \[[Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/dwight-mcneil-everton-transfer-breaking-21086784)\].

Having already signed free agent Ashley Young alongside creator Emiliano Buendia for a club record fee, bringing in McNeil would undoubtedly create a sense of excitement at Villa Park \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405)\].

In light of this, loads of Aston Villa diehards took to Twitter to voice their delight at recent developments.
