Ross Barkley has impressed for Aston Villa since joining on a season-long loan from Chelsea and 90min claimed that a permanent move could be in the offing.

Aston Villa showed an interest in Abel Hernandez after suffering relegation to the Championship in 2016, but their pursuit of the now 30-year-old fell through due to financial demands and he stayed at Hull City until 2018. Keith Wyness, who was Villa’s CEO between 2016 and 2019, explained why Villa did not sign the Uruguayan, […]
Jack Grealish is having an outstanding season at Aston Villa and 90min reported that club owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens are ‘ready to sanction’ a new deal for the 26-year-old to make him unsellable. The 25-year-old signed a five-year deal worth £120,000 per week last September but this proposed extension could be worth £200,000-a-week, […]
Aston Villa host Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon and will be desperate for a result as their form has been patchy of late. Dean Smith’s men underwhelmed in Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham United, so we anticipate two changes to the starting lineup for today’s clash. Emiliano Martinez let in two soft […]
Ahead of Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Arsenal, Dean Smith confirmed in Friday’s pre-match press conference that Aston Villa will be without Kortney Hause and Wesley Moraes.

Conor Hourihane left Aston Villa in January and joined Swansea City on a season-long loan after struggling for playing time under Dean Smith this season. The 30-year-old’s long-term future at Villa Park is uncertain as Jacob Ramsey has risen through the youth ranks to the first team while Morgan Sanson joined from Marseille, so Hourihane […]
Aston Villa look on course for a top 10 finish in the Premier League this season and all of their summer signings have contributed to their success.

Frederic Guilbert left Aston Villa at the end of the January transfer window and joined Strasbourg on loan until the end of the season, but Gabriel Agbonlahor believes he could seek a permanent exit this summer. Guilbert has been short of playing time in his two years at Villa Park and is unlikely to nail […]
It didn’t seem that Wesley Moraes was returning from injury any time soon after Dean Smith recently revealed that the striker was struggling with putting different pressures on his knee and wasn’t close to reaching his aerobic capacity, and the Aston Villa manager’s latest update is not encouraging.

Anwar El Ghazi was arguably Aston Villa’s worst performer in Wednesday’s 3-1 defeat to West Ham United.
