Aston Villa are reportedly considering replacing Thierry Henry with Steve Bruce.

According to the Daily Mirror, Aston Villa’s new owners are considering appointing Thierry Henry to replace Steve Bruce, and in this article we take a look at three players the Frenchman could sign.

John Terry

Henry has always held Terry in high regard, and said that he was the toughest player that he ever faced during his time in the Premier League.

Terry, of course, is familiar with Villa – having played for the claret and blues through the whole of last season.

Villa could not afford to keep Terry at the start of the summer, although their new injection of cash may just make it possible to offer him a contract again.

And if Henry is in charge, he is likely to push for a return for the experienced centre-back.

Reiss Nelson

Henry would surely be keen to use his contacts at Arsenal, if he took charge at Villa, and Nelson could make a bright signing.

The youngster is considered as one of Arsenal’s best prospects, but a loan move could aid his development.

Nelson could play as a striker or a right-winger, and would help to replace Jack Grealish – who looks likely to depart.

Eddie Nketiah

Another of Arsenal’s finest youngsters, Nketiah has been on the verge of the Gunners’ first-team for a number of years.

The prospect looks to have an extremely bright future, but a move to Villa could appeal.

Nketiah would likely come in as Villa’s main striker, and there would surely be nobody better to learn from than Henry.
