Aston Villa could face transfer heartbreak as Fulham hijack defender deal

Aston Villa have been keeping a keen eye on Bristol City City Full Back Joe Bryan during the transfer window, with many reports suggesting that the 24-year-old would be completing his move to Villa Park (Bristol Live). However, Fulham, who have been searching for a replacement left back, have swooped in with a last-minute offer.

Mr Bryan had reportedly undergone his medical at Aston Villa, with many fans under the impression that the young defender’s move was set in stone. However, with a bid from Fulham which was put in today, could the deal be off at Villa Park.

It has been reported that the initial bid placed by Fulham had been rejected (Bristol Live), with no further news of other bids from the Cottagers today, we are unsure whether the South London club will be upping their bids, as the club are understood to have other defensive targets on their radar this transfer window.

Fulham, who’ve already completed an impressive seven signings during this transfer window, are looking for a replacement at left-back, following Matty Targett’s loan spell coming to the end at the end of last season as the Whites clinched promotion back to the premier league.

It is understood that Targett is Fulham’s number one priority to sign in order to retake the position in the 18/19 season, should he become available from Southampton. However, with just one day left of the transfer window, the deal is not looking positive, leading to Fulham potentially looking elsewhere for a suitable fullback.
