Transfer News: Aston Villa wants to sign Chelsea pair

Aston Villa have allegedly recognized Chelsea pair Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley as likely signings.

Despite the fact that Aston Villa have recently been busy in the transfer market, Dean Smith remains positive to get another central midfielder before the end of the summer’s transfer window.

As indicated by report, that has prompted the West Midlands outfit looking into England pair Loftus-Cheek and Ross Barkley.

Neither one of the players is viewed as best option by Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, who knows that he should reduce the size of his squad over the coming weeks.

Aston Villa might not be able to sign both players on loan as Premier League regulations prevent that, hurling the chance of an offer being made for either of the playmakers.

Ross Barkley has three years left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, while Loftus-Cheek is tied to his boyhood club for one more year.
