Aston Villa reportedly want Jack Butland of Stoke City.

Tony Cascarino suggested on the Weekend Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Sunday morning (8:21am, July 14, 2019) that reported Aston Villa target and Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland is not expensive at £20 million.

According to The Birmingham Mail, Villa are interested in signing Butland from Championship club Stoke in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the Potters are looking for £20m as transfer fee for the 26-year-old England international goalkeeper.

Former Villa striker Cascarino does not think that £20m for Butland is too much money.

Cascarino said about Butland’s reported price-tag on the Weekend Sports Breakfast show on talkSPORT on Sunday morning (8:21am, July 14, 2019): “The price of him in the market is £20 million. He is 26, Jack. A goalkeeper can go on a few years more. I don’t think it’s a big price.”

Should Aston Villa make move for Jack Butland?

Butland is a very good goalkeeper with experience in the Premier League, and the England international is too good to play in the Championship.

It is only a matter of time before the former Birmingham City goalkeeper leaves the Potters, and it does make sense for Villa to make a move for him in the summer transfer window.

True, £20m does sound a lot of money for a goalkeeper, but given that Butland is only 26 years of age, Villa could have him for a long time or sell him for a lot more money when he does extremely well for them.
