Aston Villa may look to add to their left-back ranks and in midfield in the coming transfer windows, according to reliable reporter Gregg Evans.
And, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been reacting to the news on social media.
Villa brought in five signings over the summer at a cost of £89.84m, one of which was at left-back in 36-year-old Ashley Young. Lange didn’t add to Dean Smith’s central midfield ranks, though, with Juventus’ Weston McKennie a late summer target.
Evans shared a story on The Athletic on Tuesday, looking at sporting director Johan Lange. Within the report, he claimed that several young left-backs are under consideration and the midfield may be addressed in the windows ahead.
Villa fans react
Well-known page @villareport shared Evans’ transfer claim on social media on Wednesday morning.
This is what these had to say in reply, with many upbeat at the possible plans and one labelling it as 'exciting'.
“This makes a lot of sense to slowly take Targett out of the team and introduce a young left back into the squad to slowly push Matty out as much as I love him”
“Exciting. Massive Targett fan but in a back 5, I think we could do with a different kind of wingback. And the midfielder, I said enough about that in the summer”
“This would be perfect imo”
“Sign a capable cdm pls”
“Feel like we need a dedicated 6. Still think Boubacar Kamara would be an amazing signing.”
“we’re signing a new left back”
