Although he has struggled with injury problems at times, his performances have still been impressive in previous seasons, and he could be a top player in Gerrard’s side if given regular playing time.
If he were to arrive at Villa Park before the inauguration of the 2022/23 Premier League season, then it would perhaps not be a surprise if Scotland international John McGinn were to depart.
After an excellent season which saw the former Hearts man ranked as the top performer in Villa’s squad according to WhoScored, he has been linked with a move away from Villa Park, with Tottenham Hotspur amongst the sides said to be interested in signing him.
