24 SAM JOHNSTONE ASTON VILLA POSITION GOALKEEPER AGE 25

Manchester United are reported to have placed a £6.5m price tag on the highly-rated shot-stopper, having activated a one-year extension to his contract. And there’s no doubt Villa manager Steve Bruce would like to complete a deal, no matter what division the club are in next season. The on-loan keeper is not as prominent now the team have got their act together, though he remains just as dependable.
