Aston Villa targeting move for Bristol City defender

Aston Villa are interested in Bristol City defender Adam Webster.

The newly-promoted Premier League side are in the hunt for a centre-back and have made an enquiry about the availability of the Robins’ star, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Twitter.

Villa have been linked with a move for Huddersfield Town’s Terrence Kongolo but could now turn their attentions to Webster.

The 24-year-old joined Bristol City last summer from Ipswich Town for a fee of around £3.5 million and impressed for Lee Johnson’s side last season. He made 47 appearances in all competitions in the last campaign, chipping in with three goals.

Webster, who is 6ft 3inc, started his career at Portsmouth and rose up through the youth ranks at Fratton Park. He made his first-team debut for Pompey at the age of 17 in a Championship fixture against West Ham United in 2011.

He went onto play 81 times for Portsmouth in all three divisions in the Football League, as well as enjoying a loan spell at Aldershot Town in 2014.

Webster was snapped up by Ipswich in July 2016 for an undisclosed fee and played 53 times altogether for the Tractor Boys before leaving for Bristol City.

The defender has proven himself in the Championship and could be set for a move to the Premier League this summer if Aston Villa can lure him away from Ashton Gate.

The Robins rate him highly and he will only leave for a hefty fee.
