Reliable reporter David Ornstein believes that Aston Villa may look at signing a central midfielder on deadline day.
The Athletic reporter was speaking live on Sky Sports and had many Villa fans talking on social media.
The Villans have been after a new midfielder this month following Marvelous Nakamba’s serious injury towards the end of 2021. However, so far they have had no luck, with offers for Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur being rejected by Brighton and Juventus respectively.
Marseille’s Boubacar Kamara is thought to be another player on the midfield shortlist, but there have been no significant updates on Villa and the Frenchman for over a week.
According to Ornstein [via @AVFCFaithful], who was speaking on Sky Sports News' transfer deadline day coverage, Villa may have another nibble at a central midfielder in the final hours of the January window.
