Aston Villa chairman Tony Xia has apparently ruled out a move for wantaway Wolves defender Danny Batth, as Hull and Sheffield Wednesday continue to monitor The Wanderers skipper.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the Villans along with Hull and Sheffield Wednesday, where Batth spent two seasons on loan, have all been keen on a potential move for the defender.
However, asked about the potential for a move on Twitter, Villa Chairman Tony Xia replied: “At least our part is no.rumor.”
The Lions have already brought in some quality signings this summer with Ahmed Elmohamady, Christopher Samba, Glenn Whelan and former Chelsea captain John Terry all confirmed, though their interest in the former Colchester United player appears to have cooled.
