Rumour report
(Latest update: )Aston Villa's pursuit of N. Etheridge reaches new heights. Numerous reports indicating a 83% probability of the goalkeeper making the switch to his potential new club. Here is why.
- Aston Villa has often bought players who are approximately the same age as the current age of N. Etheridge (35).
- N. Etheridge is in a favorable situation regarding potential playing time, as there are only a limited number of direct competitors for his position within the current Aston Villa squad. This significantly increases his chances to prove himself and become a key player on the field.
- The absence of key players at Aston Villa who play in the same position as N. Etheridge increases his chances of playing a significant role in the short term and allows him to establish himself as a valuable asset in Aston Villa's squad.
