[Aston Villa](https://theathletic.com/football/team/aston-villa/) in the penultimate game of the season. The latter rating has dropped from his time at Burnley, but that is likely due to his role in possession, as his link-up play volume has dropped dramatically (36 out of 99). His struggles reappeared and he finished the season as a substitute, with [Ashley Barnes](https://theathletic.com/football/player/ashley-barnes-Lr9kAzWx4jPQ45w6/) preferred.

There had in fact been an agreement between the player and club when he signed that if Burnley did not survive he would be allowed to leave to keep his World Cup hopes alive. [Wolfsburg](https://theathletic.com/football/team/wolfsburg/), he prided himself on being one of the fittest players at the club, regularly topping the distance-covered stats.

[Manchester United](https://theathletic.com/football/team/manchester-united/) may well end up with a big man as their new striker this month. They have not welcomed this proposed disruption to their plans and will likely want to be compensated if they are to assist in the deal.
