Southampton, according to a report in the Daily Mail, are looking to take full advantage of Aston Villa’s current financial woes by weighing up a double bid for Andre Green and Keinan Davis.
It’s no secret that the Midlands club need to raise around £40 million in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, so they are now willing to listen to reasonable offers for their best players this summer. This will open up the door for academy players to be promoted to the main squad.
20-year-old Davis and 19-year-old Green, who, between them, have already made over 60 appearances for the senior side, are expected to feature heavily next season for the Claret and Blue.

However, considering the financial state the club is in, Villa owner Tony Xia could sanction the sale of these talented youngsters.
Southampton, who avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth, struggled to score goals last season (averaging less than one a game), so Mark Hughes is on the lookout for talented attackers to ensure that next season is a much more comfortable one.
There’s no doubt that losing the services of these mercurial players would be a huge blow to Steve Bruce, but perhaps a great bargain for Southampton at reported prices of £3-4 million.
