John McGinn aims to persuade Robert Snodgrass to join Aston Villa

Aston Villa summer signing John McGinn has told the Birmingham Mail that he hopes to see Robert Snodgrass return at the club before the end of this month.

Although the summer transfer window has ended, clubs in English Football League can still sign players on loan or on free transfer before the end of this month.

Robert Snodgrass joined Villa on loan last season and enjoyed a brilliant 2017-18 campaign. He has since returned to his parent club West Ham but Villa are looking to sign him on a short term basis yet again.
