Aston Villa fans here in the Tavern are praying that their side can secure promotion this season, as they’ve struggled to grind out positive performances in recent times.
The Villains have certainly given supporters a season to remember as they remain on course for a play-off place, with a chance to earn promotion to the Premier League. Although, failing to secure promotion in the current campaign could see them head into next season with a weakened squad, as some of their star players could head for the exits.
Indeed, Steve Bruce will do everything he can to take Aston Villa up to the Premier League in the current campaign, but faces an uphill task with fellow promotion contenders hitting top form as the season comes to a close. So, it’s vital that the Midlands club can make it to the Premier League after an impressive campaign, as anything less than promotion could see some of their key first-team members jump ship.
Therefore, here’s a look at THREE Aston Villa players that will jump ship ASAP if they don’t go up this season…
Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish has established himself as one of the Championship’s most dangerous players in the current campaign, with many of our local residents believing that he deserves to play in the Premier League.
Indeed, the Englishman has popped up with a goal and assists at crucial times for the Midlands club, as the standout performer in the Villa side after producing an incredible season thus far.
Therefore, the attacking midfielder will look to jump ship if they fail to secure promotion this season, as he’s been a class above anyone else with Premier League clubs looking to lure him away in the summer.
John Terry
John Terry has been influential at the heart of the Villains’ defence so far this season, as he’s come to the rescue on numerous occasions with his experience coming in handy.
Indeed, the former Chelsea legend has shown his class in the Championship as many strikers have failed to make it past him, and he’ll play a crucial part in their promotion push from here on in.
Therefore, John Terry will look to jump ship at the end of the season if they don’t manage to get promoted, as Premier League football is the only thing on the defender’s mind for next season.
Robert Snodgrass
Robert Snodgrass has been one of the most consistent performers in the Championship so far this season, as he should arguably be playing Premier League football after another incredible campaign.
Indeed, the Scotsman is into double figures for assists and has an impressive amount of goals to his name, as Aston Villa would be out of the promotion race if it wasn’t for this man’s efforts.
Therefore, the 30-year-old will look to jump ship if Villa don’t secure promotion to the Premier League, as he has a point to prove in the top-flight after being handed limited minutes at former club West Ham United.
