News broke over the weekend in the Sun that Aston Villa could have company in the race for Sam Johnstone from Cardiff City.

The goalkeeper has enjoyed a solid spell at B6 and will be looking to get back into the Premier League with them after this weekend's play-off final.

The men from Villa Park take on Fulham in the showpiece at Wembley on Saturday afternoon and it will be an entertaining affair, though it will soon turn sour for those connected with the losing side.

Johnstone appears to have a good chance of being in the top flight regardless of Saturday's result, though, if Cardiff make a move and so we asked Villa fans whether it was important that they sign him up before they do:

Evidently, then, Villa fans are urging their club to get something over the line for the Manchester United loanee as they aim to strengthen their own side.

Premier League football will undoubtedly improve their own position to do just that, too, but even if they do not beat Fulham this weekend you have to think that Johnstone would still consider staying with the Villans.

Thoughts, Villa fans? Let us know below!
