Villa preparing to cash in on Jlloyd
Gary Jacob (The Times)
ASTON Villa are prepared to let Jlloyd Samuel leave the club if they receive an acceptable offer for the left back. Charlton Athletic, Fulham and Portsmouth are among the clubs chasing the defender, who has been frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities. Villa want about £1.5 million for Samuel, who has had a bristly relationship with David O’Leary, the manager, this season. Samuel was taken off at half-time against Manchester City in October and has played only one match since then.
