Aston Villa defensive midfielder Mile Jedinak is reportedly on the radar of South West Sydney.
Jedinak, who has been deployed as a central defender at times this season, has been struggling with injuries for the past two months.
The 34-year-old is now fully fit and is available for Villa, who are going strong in the Championship and are challenging for the playoffs.
The Australian defensive midfielder, though, is happy at Villa Park and is enjoying training under manager Dean Smith.
The Birmingham Mail has quoted Jedinak as saying when asked if he is happy at Villa: “Absolutely. As strange as it sounds I am enjoying my football, I am enjoying going into work every day and working doubly hard to try and make myself get back into the team.
“That’s something I have done for as long as I know. I am enjoying the sessions, I am enjoying trying to help wherever I can in every which way.
“It’s not just the games, it’s the training and being around that and making sure that that’s right. I am enjoying it to be honest with you.”
Hint on future?
Jedinak is out of contract at Villa in the summer of 2019, and the midfielder has been linked with a move away from the Villans.
According to The World Game, South West Sydney are confident of signing the 34-year-old.
However, the midfielder’s aforementioned comments make it clear that he is happy at Villa, and perhaps the former Sydney United star will sign a new contract at the Villans if he is offered one.
Jedinak joined Villa from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £4 million and when Roberto Di Matteo was in charge of the Villans.
