‘An absolute cheat code’ – Some Villa fans react after hearing Smith wants to sign 26-yr-old – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse as per reports we covered yesterday.
The West Midlands club recently agreed on a deal to sign Emiliano Buendia from Norwich City and it seems that Dean Smith is not done strengthening his midfield just yet.
The 26-year-old Southampton midfielder has been a quality Premier League player over the years and he could prove to be a smart addition to the Aston Villa side.
Villa are missing a central midfielder with his passing range and set-piece prowess.
The likes of Jack Grealish tend to win quite a few free kicks because of this dribbling ability and style of play and Villa could certainly use a quality set-piece taker like Ward-Prowse in those situations.
It seems that Southampton are not keen on selling their star midfielder this summer and it will be interesting to see if Villa can change their stance with a significant offer in the coming weeks.
A move to Villa Park would be a step up in Ward-Prowseβ career and he could be tempted to make the move. He would get to play alongside better players at a more ambitious club.
Some of the Aston Villa fans are quite excited with the links to Ward-Prowse and here is what they had to say.
Would love him but this doesnβt make sense, where would he even play?

Makes perfect sense if it comes off, another quality addition to the middle and more importantly a guy who knows how to strike the ball from a set piece. Buendia both footed, scores and makes goals, the jigsaw of what we lack is coming together

Grealish complains about free kick takes so we go buy the best one in England

Free kicks for dayssss

Not to complain
but really think we need a strong CDM. I think we’ve got 3 solid box to box options in McGinn, Sanson and Luiz already. Unless it is depth, but cant see JWP sitting on our bench for a 1/3 of our season

Jack would get kicked a whole let less if we had him to take set plays

Grealish gets fouled, Ward-Prowse scores the free kick. So whatβs not to like about this.

Grealish winning fouls and Ward-Prowse taking the free-kicks is an absolute cheat code oh my word https://t.co/fydm1FQGes
