Aston Villa close to signing West Ham outcast Snodgrass

According to Sky Sports, Aston Villa are set to sign Robert Snodgrass on loan until the end of the season.

After a great start to the 2016/17 campaign with Hull, making 29 appearances in all competitions, scoring nine and assisting four times, he was the shining light of a struggling Hull side.

These great performances earned him a move to West Ham in January, as a quick fix after the departure of Dimitri Payet to Marseille, but the Scotsman could not keep up the same form he showed at Hull at West Ham.

For West Ham, Snodgrass has made 15 appearances in all competitions, not scoring any goals and only getting two assists.

After a lot of promise, many West Ham fans have given up on Snodgrass and so have the club by the looks of things, and rightly so.

Many Championship sides such as Sunderland, Birmingham and his former club, Leeds but it looks likely that he will get a loan move to Aston Villa, subject to a medical.

Despite a poor spell at West Ham, he is a very talented player and has a great record in the Championship, making 104 appearances, scoring 23 goals and assisting 29, so this is a good signing for Villa.
