According to Football Insider, Aston Villa are interested in acquiring the services of Sheffield Wednesday’s Matt Penney.
The 20-year-old, who can play at left-back or on the left-wing, has been outstanding for the Owls this season and has established himself as a first-team regular.
Wednesday are now in talks with the youngster regarding a new deal as they are very concerned that he will leave this month.
It is no secret that Smith is in search of a left-back this month as Neil Taylor, despite getting chance after chance, has failed to prove that he is good enough to compete at this level.
However, they will face stiff competition for Penney’s signature as it is believed that Premier League sides Brighton and Bournemouth are also interested in acquiring his services.
The allure of testing himself in the top flight of English football might be something that he finds impossible to turn down.
