Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Celtic midfielder David Turnbull.

And, as to be expected, the news regarding the Hoops star had plenty of Villa fans talking online.

According to The Scottish Sun, Villa are lining up a £7m offer for the 21-year-old, who recently won the PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year award.

The report claims that Villa have watched the attacking midfielder on numerous occasions this season, and they clearly like what they see in the Scot.

Turnbull made the move to Celtic Park from Motherwell in a £2.7m deal last summer. He was a shining light in a difficult season for the Scottish giants, scoring nine times and registering eight assists in 35 appearances.

Dean Smith has received glowing reports on Turnbull, with Villa looking to bolster their creative ranks with Ross Barkley returning to Chelsea and Jack Grealish linked with a Villa Park exit.

Villa fans react

@villareport shared the news on the club’s interest in Turnbull on Twitter late on Thursday evening.

This is what these Villa supporters had to say to the links, with one describing it as ‘sensational’.
