Many Aston Villa fans have flocked to a tweet from Villa news Twitter account @villareport which has shared the news that Conor Hourihane is set to join Championship side Swansea City on loan for the rest of the 2020/21 campaign.
This news mightn’t come as a massive surprise, as the Republic of Ireland international didn’t play a very significant role for the Villans this term, making just five appearances for the Midlands-based club in all competitions.
