Aston Villa ace Dobbin sends message as major exit news confirmed
Aston Villa are enduring a frustrating transfer window as things stand.
It is believed that a big name is set to leave the club in the coming days to ensure the club meets Profit and Sustainability Regulations (PSR).
Stars like Morgan Rogers and Emi Martinez have been linked with a move away from Villa Park, while there is no immediate sign of any new signings coming through the door.
Now, young winger Lewis Dobbin has reacted on social media to a breaking piece of transfer news away from Villa Park.
Dobbin reacts as Dominic Calvert-Lewin confirms Everton exit
It was confirmed on Sunday (29 June) that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will not sign a new contract at Everton, and will instead leave the club on a free transfer.
Shortly, after the news was confirmed, Calvert-Lewin uploaded a picture of himself in an Everton shirt with the caption “Once a blue, always a blue”.
Several names from the world of football left their best wishes to the former England striker on his post, including Dobbin, who played alongside Calvert-Lewin at Everton.
Dobbin left a high-five emoji alongside a Blue emoji.
Dobbin future at Aston Villa remains uncertain
Dobbin was signed from Everton last summer for a hefty £10million fee, but is yet to start a competitive game for Aston Villa.
He was shipped out on loan last season, first to West Brom and then to Norwich City.
However, Dobbin hardly lit the Championship on fire during these two loan spells, and now his Aston Villa future seems uncertain.

There hasn’t been too much speculation linking him with a permanent move away from Villa Park, even though it seems that Villa are desperate to sell players.
At the same time, most fans would be disappointed if Dobbin turned out to be the main replacement for Marcus Rashford on their left wing.
It seems as if the 22-year-old is destined for another loan spell in the Championship next season, but he’ll have to do more if he wants to catch the eye of Unai Emery and get the opportunity to prove his worth in the Premier League.
