Some Aston Villa fans on Twitter have spotted a clue that the Morgan Sanson deal is now moving very close to completion.
Aston Villa have been linked with a £15 million move for the Marseille midfielder.
Villa boss Dean Smith failed to deny the speculation about his club’s interest earlier this week.
According to Wales Online, Smith is on the brink of sending Conor Hourihane to Championship side Swansea City.
And with Sanson and Hourihane operating in a similar midfield role, Aston Villa fans on social media believe that the Irishman’s move will result in his French counterpart coming in.
Here’s how they’re reacting to the Hourihane update on Twitter:
Aston Villa have had a very decent first half of the season and you get the feeling that things could be even better during the second half, IF they have a good window.
Smith’s side have won eight Premier League games – one less than champions Liverpool – and an addition like Sanson could well propel them up the table over the coming months, if it happens.
