Ashley Young

Aston Villa winger Ashley Young is set to sign for Premier League title contenders Arsenal after refusing to sign a new contract at Villa Park, according to reports.

The England international is reportedly looking to make the switch to the Emirates in the January transfer window, as reported by talkSPORT.

The 25-year-old insisted he would confer with the Midlands club regarding a new deal at the end of the season as he currently has one year left on his current contract.

However, reports suggest Arsene Wenger will snap up Young despite Villa manager Gerard Houllier’s desire to keep him.
