According to Gregg Evans of Birmingham Mail, Aston Villa defender Mitchell Clark is a player Newcastle United and West Ham United want to sign. He’s made only one senior appearance for the Midlands outfit and could be lured away from Villa Park for an opportunity to play for a Premier League side.
The 19-year-old was loaned out to League Two side Port Vale in August to gain regular playing time but can be recalled if needed this season. Villa have enough options at right-back for Clark to remain at Vale Park for the campaign, however, and there’s now a chance he may never return.
