Villa look to sign League One defender
Aston Villa are hoping that by acting early, they’ll be able to beat Premier League giants Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United to the signing of Bury defender Jacob Bedeau.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, not only are Villa looking at making signings to improve the first team squad immediately, they are also looking to the future and have identified the 17-year-old as a player they’d like to bring in and develop.
He’s made seven appearances in League One this season despite his young age and Villa have had scouts watching him and it seems like they’ve been impressed.
Bury have a history of producing quality young players with Liverpool and Everton both taking players from them in the last few years and Villa could soon follow suit.
Quite how much it’d take for Bury to sell remains to be seen but Villa fans will be happy to see the team planning for the long-tern as well as the short-term.
