Premier League club to make move for Aston Villa midfield ace

Aston Villa could be set for a battle to keep hold of midfielder Ashley Westwood, with Burnley interested in taking him off their hands, according to the Birmingham Mail. 

Westwood has been a regular in the Villa team over the past few seasons, after establishing himself in the side following his move from Crewe in 2012.

The midfielder was one of the few to come out with credit last term as the Villains were relegated from the Premier League under Tim Sherwood and then Remi Garde.

However, the Villa mans reported £40k a week wages  could well prove a stumbling block for Sean Dyche, who will be unwilling to break the bank for the Clarets as they embark on their quest for Premier League survival next term.

With Villa expected to make changes over the summer under Roberto Di Matteo, Westwood may well find himself out of the picture if the Italian decides to bring his own players in so may welcome a move.

Aston Villa fans, what do you think to this news, is Westwood worth keeping? Would you rather he stay? Let us know in the comments!
