Aston Villa supporters have taken to social media to react to reports Frederic Guilbert could be leaving.

According to France Football, the club are pushing the 25-year-old towards the exit after just one season in the Midlands.

Apparently, there is interest in Guilbert from several clubs across the Premier League and Championship, with a return to France also a possibility.

Guilbert signed for Villa in January 2019, but finished up the 2018/19 season with Caen on loan.

Villa confirmed their first signing of the window on Thursday, with Matty Cash joining from Nottingham Forest.

Sky Sports report the fee is around £16 million including potential add-ons.

Cash’s arrival undoubtedly now raises questions about Guilbert’s future.

The Frenchman was mostly a regular for Villa in 2019/20, making 25 Premier League appearances under Dean Smith.

But towards the end the manager opted to use Ezri Konsa at right-back, suggesting he was not fully sold on Guilbert.

Guilbert being linked with a move away from the club has not gone down particularly well with supporters on social media.

Cash may have signed, but many don’t see that as a reason for Guilbert to leave with some even suggesting a change up in formation to accommodate both players:
