Smith must sell Kalinic in January

Lovre Kalinic has an uncertain future at Aston Villa after falling down the pecking order under Dean Smith and should be moved on in January. The 29-year-old finds himself behind Tom Heaton, Jed Steer & Orjan Nyland and hasn’t played a single minute of football this season.

Kalinic has not even been at Villa for a year, having joined from KAA Gent in January, but he’s on the periphery and will need to leave to get regular playing time. Once a regular between the sticks in the Croatian national team, Kalinic is now second-choice under Zlatko Daliu0107.
