ASTON VILLA PLANNING TO SELL YOUNG

Ashley Young is expected to be sold by Aston Villa in the summer, according to the Free Bet website. He might maintain that he is not considering his future just yet, but it appears as though Aston Villa are. The Midlands club are expected to tell Young’s suitors that they must part with at least £25 million this summer to prise the England international away a year before his contract ends.

Aston Villa were adamant in January that the forward is not for sale, but the picture is set to change during the next transfer window, not least because it has become clear that the 25 year-old is ready for a move.

He has already left his local home in Stourbridge and repeatedly refused to discuss a new contract.
