Villa must sign Targett to solve left-back problem

Dean Smith could look to bring in another left-back this summer due to a lack of depth in the Aston Villa squad. Neil Taylor is the only natural option in the first-team and has struggled with injuries in the last 12 months, so a new face will be necessary ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.

Signing a player with Premier League experience who creats chances in the final third and does his defensive duties would be ideal, so Smith should consider a move for Southampton’s Matty Targett – a player Villa tried to sign in August 2018.
