Aston Villa are reportedly still in the hunt for Adam Webster.
According to The Guardian, Aston Villa are still looking to sign Bristol City defender Adam Webster despite agreeing a deal for Tyrone Mings on Sunday.
Villa saw Mings thrive on loan from Bournemouth in the second half of last season, meaning he has been a top target for Dean Smith on a permanent basis.
A deal that may be worth up to £26.5million has been agreed for Mings, but Villa may not be done there in terms of centre back additions.
It’s believed that Villa will still pursue a big-money move for Bristol City’s Webster, seemingly viewing him as a partner for Mings rather than an alternative target.
The report also adds that two more big-money additions – Leeds United’s Kalvin Phillips and Brentford’s Said Benrahma – are also wanted alongside Webster, with Villa looking to splash the cash.
The Bristol Post recently suggested that Webster will cost £30million to prise away from Ashton Gate, and Villa will be hoping that the price comes down in the coming weeks.
Webster, 24, starred at Bristol City last season having arrived from Ipswich Town last summer, and having him alongside Mings would give Villa a strong and commanding centre back pairing for years to come.
Villa have some depth in James Chester and Kortney Hause, meaning they can push the boat out for one more centre back signing after Mings – and it seems that Webster is the man they want.
