Ashley Young is one of my favorite young players to watch – and undoubtedly, one of Aston Villa’s favorites too.
The 23-year-old also has a fan in Juande Ramos, the former Tottenham boss who has been given the unenviable task of turning around Real Madrid’s season midway through it.
Reports have the La Liga giants willing to offer £27million for Young, but he is unlikely to leave at any price, especially after signing a four-year deal last month.
Rumor rating
Do I think that Real Madrid would love to have Ashley Young? Yes. Do I think there is a figure out there to get Martin O’Neill to want to sell his rising superstar? Not a chance.
