League Two winger to land dream Aston Villa move
Chris Humphrey is poised to sign for Champions League chasing Villa from Shrewsbury.
A source close to negotiations, told the Sunday Mercury: “Villa have scouted Humphrey in his last three games.
"He’s a Martin O’Neill player – English, young and very quick.
“They know that the compensation figure when his contract expires at the end of the season would not be too high, so they are talking about buying him now rather the facing competition in the summer.”
The 21-year-old is likely to be loaned straight back to Shrewsbury for the rest of the season where he will look to add to his 68 senior appearances.
