Aston Villa forward Keinan Davis is set to join Nottingham Forest on loan in the New Year.
That’s according to The Express & Star’s Matt Maher, which, as to be expected, has had plenty of Villa fans talking on social media.
Davis saw a temporary move to Stoke City fall through in the summer due to injury and has hardly featured in 2021/22.
The 23-year-old, who Steven Gerrard is thought to be a big fan of, has played just 11 Premier League minutes in what was Dean Smith’s final game in charge.
It now seems as if the forward, who has scored just six times in 86 appearances, will join Steve Cooper’s Forest side for the second half of the season as they look to break into the Championship playoff places.
Villa fans react
Well-known page @villareport shared Maher’s claim regarding Davis on Twitter. This is what these Villa supporters had to say, with many feeling it is the right decision and one even labelling it as ‘fantastic’.
“If this is true, it is fantastic news! Keinan needs regular football to be able to develop further. He can not do that at Villa.”
“Great Move For Him I hope it works and he is successful and stays injury free. Good Luck Keinan”
“I’m a big big fan of his. Very strong and bullies defenders very easily. With frequent chances and regular playing time he’ll be a monster”
“Please god let this boy become the player I know he can be”
“good move”
“He needs this so badly! He will get the games and some confidence. I still think he will be a big player for us”
