‘Aston Villa to bank pure PSR profit’ as Kesler-Hayden fee agreed on June 30
Kaine Kesler-Hayden looks set to be sacrificed by Aston Villa to help with Profit and Sustainability issues.
The Villans’ business in the summer transfer window is set to be dictated by where they stand with the Premier League‘s PSR.
They have to ensure that they remain within the limits by the 30 June deadline, otherwise they could be hit with penalties, such as fines and points deductions.
The Villa Park outfit could sell their Women’s team to help with the potential issues, and they are also set to allow the 22-year-old to depart to ease concerns.
Aston Villa set to sell Kesler-Hayden
Kesler-Hayden is one of the players ready to be sold by Unai Emery‘s side to help out with their situation.
Telegraph journalist John Percy (30 June) has reported that Kesler-Hayden will join Coventry for a fee of £3.5million.
It states that the Villa star, who was named Preston’s Player of the Season, will complete a medical today.
Kesler-Hayden set to hand Villa pure profit
In a daming indictment of how the modern game has gone, selling homegrown players is the best way to help with any PSR troubles.
Players that come through the youth academy represent pure profit on the books, as there is no fee involved to sign them.

Therefore, Kesler-Hayden will help the Villans with their problems, as he will grant them £3.5m of pure profit in terms of their financial projections.
It is a huge shame, as he had a brilliant campaign on loan with the Lilywhites and could have been ready to play in the top-flight, with right-back a problem position for Emery.
Jacob Ramsey has been mooted as another potential exit, with the B6 outfit facing a tough task to avoid the sanctions that come with breaching PSR.
Monchi and Emery have a tough job bringing players into Villa this summer, with Marco Asensio’s potential return hinging on the financial merry-go-round.
The lack of Champions League football next season certainly does not help, and Villa may face a hard time getting back into the competition as a result.
