Michail Antonio says Aston Villa have ‘one of the strongest players in the Premier League’

Aston Villa are enjoying a solid season, remaining in contention for a Premier League top-four finish and the Europa Conference League.

Unai Emery, who is set to take charge of his 1000th match this week, has built an impressive Villans outfit that is pushing for the Champions League.

Now, West Ham United ace Michail Antonio has described one of Aston Villa’s key stars as “one of the s🌊trongest players in the Premier League”.

The Villans have numerous strong players their ranks, such as Douglas Luiz, Diego Carlos and Ollie ༒Watkins.

Which Aston Villa player does Michail Antonio think is one of the strongest in the Premier League?

However, Antonio opted for a different player- and it prob♔ably won’t come as ♐a surprise that he was talking about Villa captain John McGinn.

The West Ham forward, speaking on the latest episode on the , believes the Villans skipper simply cannot be mo🅘ved.

“John McGinn is one of the strongest players in the Premier League,” said Antonio.𓆏 “When he sticks his a– out there is nothing moving him. Nothing.”

The Scotland interna🤡tional has been thriving under Emery, who has him playing a bit deeper that was previously the case.

McGinn is not only a strong, tough player, but he also boasts an incredible football IQ. Andrew Robertson named him as his main pick for that trait on TikTok earlier this month.

The 29-year-old has certainly done enough to warrant being called an Aston Villa legend. Let’s hope he gets the chance to lift silverware in claret and blu🌌e this season, or at least in the coming years.
