Thierry Henry is said to be the leading candidate to take over at Aston Villa from Steve Bruce.

Henry is the front runner to take charge at Villa, as they search for a replacement for Steve Bruce.
Villa have been linked with a host of names, but Henry is thought to be the leading candidate.
And the Mail claim that Henry is excited by the prospect of moving to Villa Park as he wants to link up with Grealish.

Grealish has not lived up to his potential so far this season, with just one assist to his name.
Bruce seemingly failed to bring the best out of Grealish during his time with the claret and blues.
But Henry has hopes that he can get Grealish back on top form, and is looking forward to the challenge of managing the talented playmaker at Villa.
