According to the Football Insider, Aston Villa are interested in Sheffield Wednesday defender Matt Penney. The 20-year-old left-back, who rose through the youth ranks to the first-team this summer, also has Bournemouth and Brighton & Hove Albion keen on his signature. All three interested clubs are believed to have sent scouts to see Penney in action recently.
Villa, who are 15th in the Championship with 15 points from 12 games this season, have used Neil Taylor and Alan Hutton in a makeshift role at left-back and are looking for a natural defender with room for development.
