Aston Villa and West Ham among the five clubs keen on 25-yr-old PL player – originally posted on Sportslens.com
West Ham United and Aston Villa are among five Premier League clubs keeping tabs on the Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill as per Teamtalk.
The 25-year-old has done well in the Premier League so far this season and he has established himself as a key player for Sean Dyche.
Apparently, the likes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton and Crystal Palace are some of the other clubs that have scouted the 25-year-old in recent months.
It will be interesting to see if the likes of West Ham and Aston Villa follow up on their interest with a concrete offer for Brownhill at the end of this season.
SL View: West Ham and Villa could use more depth in their midfield
Both teams could use some depth in the central midfield and Brownhill would be a superb long term investment for them.
The Hammers need to find an alternative to Mark Noble and Villa need to provide more support to the likes of John McGinn and Douglas Luiz.
It remains to be seen where the 25-year-old ends up next season.
Burnley signed him from championship club Bristol City last January and they will not want to lose him just yet. His suitors might have to pay a premium if they want to secure his services this summer.
The 25-year-old midfielder can operate as a central midfielder as well as a right-sided midfielder.
Brownhill is excellent at holding onto the ball and contributing defensively at the heart of the midfield.
The 25-year-old is also strong in the air and he will certainly improve the likes of Villa and West Ham defensively if he joins them.
