Dean Smith could look to sign another left-back this summer to add some much-needed strength in depth. Aston Villa have Neil Taylor at their disposal but no obvious backup waiting in the wings which could see them scour the transfer market for the right defender.
Kieran Gibbs of West Bromwich Albion would be a shrewd acquisition, but whether he’s on their radar remains to be seen.
The £55k-per-week fullback has been linked with a move to Newcastle United and Fenerbahce this summer and could be open to returning to the Premier League after Albion lost out in the Championship playoffs.
