Aston Villa are reportedly interested in signing 17-year-old Scottish wonderkid Lennon Miller in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Aston Villa have now intensified their efforts to sign17-year-old Scottish prodigy Lennon Miller from Motherwell in the summer transfer window.
Apparently, Bournemouth are keen on signing the teenage sensation as well, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up. Miller is highly rated in Scotland, and his impressive performances have attracted a lot of interest this season.
Motherwell are hoping to convince the youngster to stay at the club beyond this season, and it remains to be seen whether they can succeed in their efforts. Aston Villa are hoping to put together a formidable squad for the future, and it is no surprise that they are looking to sign a prodigious young talent.
The 17-year-old would be a long-term investment for the West Midlands club, and it remains to be seen whether they can secure an agreement with Motherwell. Meanwhile, recent reports have linked Aston Villa with other highly-rated prospects, including Matias Soule.
Lennon Miller will be tempted to join Aston Villa
Aston Villa have done exceedingly well this season, and they are well-placed to secure UEFA Champions League qualification. The opportunity to join them can be quite attractive for most players, and the youngster will certainly be tempted to join a rising juggernaut like Aston Villa.
They have a quality manager like Unai Emery at their disposal as well, and the Spaniard could play a key role in convincing the youngster. A move to Aston Villa would be a major step up in his career, and Miller will hope that the two clubs can finalise an agreement soon.
The 17-year-old might not be a regular starter for the West Midlands club. But Aston Villa could provide him with a pathway to the first team. If he can continue to improve and impress over the next few months, he will certainly get first-team chances in the coming seasons.
The Scottish wonderkid has the talent and the attributes to succeed in English football, and he could develop into a key player for Aston Villa in the coming seasons. If the West Midlands club can secure his services for a reasonable fee this summer, the move could look like a bargain in the long term.
