Reportedly encouraged to leave PL club: Aston Villa could clinch promotion by signing speed machine

Lack of width and creativity

Villa are currently lacking in options out wide with only Albert Adomah recognised as a natural wide man.

The likes of Jack Grealish, Leandro Bacuna and El Mohamady are better used in other areas of the pitch, so adding a winger should be one of Bruce’s priorities with four weeks remaining in the transfer window.

Montero can be the man to remove that concern, bringing proven Premier League quality to Villa Park and the ability to create something out of nothing.
