Available in cut-price deal: Why Aston Villa must join four-club chase for PL set-piece specialist

Championship form

Snodgrass has played for the likes of Hull, Leeds and Norwich throughout his career, building a reputation as one of the most prolific players to have played in the Championship.

West Ham’s number 11 has had a hand in 52 goals during his 104 Championship career appearances, scoring 23 goals as well as laying on 29 assists.

If Snodgrass can replicate that kind of form in the claret and blue of Aston Villa, then Bruce would take a mammoth leap towards securing his fifth career promotion as a manager.
