Aston Villa appear to have missed out on supposed target Charlie Colkett, with the Chelsea man opting to join Swedish side Ostersunds.

The Sunday People (January 20, Page 49), suggested that the 22-year-old was interesting Dean Smith as he looks to strengthen his squad this month.

However, Sky Sports transfer centre (15:42) revealed that the player has decided to go to Ostersunds in the Swedish top-flight.

That's despite Villa having a connection to the Premier League side through John Terry, with Smith's number two expected to have played a part in convincing Colkett to come to Villa Park.

The midfielder, who has played for England at various youth levels, failed to make an appearance for the Blues and had several loan spells over the past few years, with the most recent at Shrewsbury.

Therefore, it's fair to say that the Villa fans weren't too bothered about missing out on the player, although some questioned why they couldn't close a deal if they did want him.

Here's some of the reaction from Twitter...
