Despite paying £5m for Aaron Tshibola in 2016, Aston Villa could be releasing the 24-year-old for free this summer. Tshibola has no place in the squad and has fallen further down the pecking order following the arrival of Douglas Luiz from Manchester City and Henri Lansbury’s return to the first-team.
The DR Congo international has made only 10 appearances in his three years at Villa, spending the last two-and-a-half years on loan at Nottingham Forest (January 30, 2017 – May 31, 2017), MK Dons (July 27, 2017 – November 9, 2017) and Kilmarnock (January 29, 2018 – May 14, 2018) (August 29, 2018 – May 20, 2019).
