It is suggested tha꧒t with Villa in talks to sign Morgan Sanson, Hourihane – who earns £30,000-a-week, – will be allowed to leave the club during this month.

It will be interesting to see what the long-term future holds for the midfielder. , his contrac🧜t will have one year to run upon his return to the Villans.

Should Sanson arrive, it is diffic💙ult to see Hourihane returning to the fold for next season. Instead, a permanent move away will surely be much more likely.

And should he impress while at the Liberty Stadium, it🎃 would be no surprise if there were a number of sideꦫs looking to offer him a fresh challenge ahead of next term.
