Aston Villa and Stoke City are reportedly keen on signing Josh Tymon.

Stoke City are not only keen to sign Hull City’s exciting left-back, Josh Tymon, but are also hopeful of securing his signature.
According to reports from Stoke Sentinel, Stoke City have given a serious thought to the 18-year-old, and they are “hoping” that Tymon can put genuine pressure on current left back Erik Pieters in the future.
However, Stoke are not alone in the race for Tymon. According to reports from ESPN, Aston Villa, Watford and Liverpool have all registered an interest in securing his services.
Hull City’s Josh Tymon
The 18-year-old left-back made 12 appearances for Hull City in 2016/17, of which he made four starts in the Premier League and came off the bench in a fifth.
He also scored in one of two FA Cup appearances last season, in the Tigers’ 2-0 win over Stoke City.

Tymon is yet to agree a professional contract with Hull City, and despite his age, would love to continue his development in the Premier League.
Having said that, Aston Villa are a big club, and Steve Bruce could tempt him to stay another year in the Championship.
He would come at a low cost. And his fee would go to a tribunal because of his age, if the two clubs fail to reach an agreement.
