Aston Villa winger Andre Green could make a loan move this week.
According to The Mirror (14:57), Aston Villa winger Andre Green is wanted on loan by Championship duo Bolton Wanderers and Norwich City before Friday’s transfer deadline.
Villa have been active since the permanent transfer deadline passed earlier this month, with wingers Yannick Bolasie and Anwar El Ghazi arriving from Everton and Lille respectively.
The pair have joined on loan, and give a major boost to Steve Bruce’s side – but their arrivals mean that a winger may be looking to leave in order to play first-team football this term.
The Mirror report that youngster Andre Green may be on the move, with Championship rivals Bolton Wanderers and Norwich City both keen to take him on loan for the season.
Green, 20, has come up through the Villa ranks having been born in Solihull, and has threatened to become a real talent for some time, showing glimpses of his quality.
Yet with just 28 games to his name, Green hasn’t been able to become regular at Villa, and the signings of Bolasie and El Ghazi make it even more of a struggle for him to play.
Bolton and Norwich may therefore be able to offer him playing time this season, and it remains to be seen whether Villa accept the offers coming their way before Friday’s deadline.
Intriguingly, the Daily Mail reported over the summer that Southampton are keen to land Green, showing what a talent Villa have on their hands – but he appears to be heading out of Villa Park for a Championship loan move right now.
