Aston Villa should make a move for Scunthorpe United midfielder Josh Morris.
Aston Villa have made a dreadful start to their 2017/18 EFL Championship campaign, failing to win in any of their first three games.
Steve Bruce would love to make a few more additions before the transfer window closes and has been linked with players like Jack Wilshere, Jack Colback and Sam Gallagher in recent weeks.
Attacking players usually do not come in cheap. Plus, Premier League players usually do not want to step down to the Championship, while it is not always easy to sign top Championship players from direct rival clubs either.
Villa’s tight financial situation means Bruce may have to look further down the league to sign players who would add quality to the side – step up, Scunthorpe’s Josh Morris.
Morris is a creative playmaker and a gem of a talent. He scored 19 goals for the Irons last season – only Billy Sharp and James Vaughan scored more than him.
It is not only goals that make him a special player. He is equally brilliant in creating chances for others, racking up 17 assists for the side.
The 25-year-old joined Scunthorpe on a free transfer, and turned out to be a master-stroke signing for the club.
He would definitely want to test himself at a higher level, and Aston Villa should provide him the opportunity to prove his mettle.
