Aston Villa fans are reacting on Twitter to a report about Oliwier Zych.

According to Sportowy, the Premier League strugglers are set to sign the Polish goalkeeper.

Aston Villa are set to lose half-season loanee Pepe Reina at the end of the season.

That being said, it’s unlikely that Zych is being signed as a replacement for the veteran Spaniard, because the Birmingham-bound stopper is only 15.

Here’s how Villa fans reacted on Twitter to the prospect of signing him:

The real question is, will Aston Villa still be a Premier League club when this reported deal is confirmed? Potentially not.

Smith’s side are 19th in the table with eight games to go.

The Villans are only in the bottom three by a point, and there’s still more than enough time to save themselves, but they need to shore up the defence in a big way.

The West Midlands club are back in action tonight when they visit Newcastle United.
