Premier League transfer news: Juventus and Manchester United in hunt for Aston Villa ace
Aston Villa have enjoyed a much improved sophomore season in the Premier League following on from last year's relegation scare.

The only issue with their sudden spike in output is that the players who have made it possible are now attracting attention from a wide range of suitors.
A fresh report from TNT Sports suggests that European big guns Juventus and Manchester United are plotting a summer raid for one Villa Park star in particular – and incredibly, it’s not talismanic captain and darling of the gossip columns Jack Grealish.
Nonetheless, it’s hard to imagine Dean Smith parting with any of his key players too easily in the coming months.
