Brighton’s Beram Kayal has been linked with a move to Aston Villa.
According to The Sun, Aston Villa are interested in a January deal for Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Beram Kayal, prompting reactions from both sets of fans.
Villa have made a superb start to life under Steve Bruce with three wins and two draws from his five games in charge, and now lie just five points away from a play-off place.

The Mirror recently reported that Bruce will be given the backing to spend heavily in the January transfer window, and he’s now being linked with a potential transfer target.
The Sun claim that Villa are preparing a January move to sign Brighton midfielder Beram Kayal, who Bruce allegedly tried to sign during his time in charge of Hull City, but failed.

Kayal, 28, is best known for having starred for Celtic, spending almost five years with the Bhoys before leaving for Brighton in January 2015.
The Israeli international has become a key player for the Seagulls under Chris Hughton, but with his contract set to expire this summer, interest in his signature is building – and fans have been taking to Twitter to discuss Kayal’s future.

Brighton fans told Villa to get their hands off Kayal, and whilst some think it’s a sideways move at best to leave the Amex Stadium for Villa Park, they think he could leave if he’s set against signing a new contract.
Meanwhile, Villa fans think that Kayal would be a great signing and a player to build around in midfield, with fans even sending the player messages urging him to make the move to Villa Park in 2017.
Here are some of the reactions from Brighton and Villa fans on Twitter after Kayal was linked with a January move…
