Alan Hutton: Kortney Hause must leave Aston Villa for Bournemouth
We’re delighted to welcome former Scotland defender Alan Hutton as our exclusive columnist each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Aston Villa.
Alan Hutton believes that Kortney Hause must seek an Aston Villa exit and move to another club this summer with Bournemouth being an option.
According to talkSPORT, the newly-promoted Premier League side are keen on signing the 27-year-old this summer.
Hause only recently penned a new deal at Villa so it seems that they may consider letting him leave only on loan.
The defender has had an eventful summer in which he’s undergone knee surgery and he now looks ready for some regular first-team minutes.
Discussing the situation exclusively with Villa News, Hutton said, “I think whenever he’s come in, he’s done well.
“He’s been hampered by injury and has fallen behind in the pecking order now at this moment in time.
“So he’s really got to go out and play football and get game time.
“You want to be playing at the highest level.
“Bournemouth are back in the big time and are spending money so it’s an option for him. I think it will be good.
“That being said, you know Steven Gerrard wants competition. He doesn’t want anybody to leave.”
The Englishman just made seven league appearances last season and played a little under 400 minutes.
With Diego Carlos’ signing, he will now find game time even harder to come by should he stay at Villa Park.
In other Aston Villa news, manager Steven Gerrard is very keen to bring Liverpool defender Joe Gomez to the club.
