Jan Bednarek looked set to join Aston Villa, but now it seems the claret & blue from Birmingham face competition from the claret & blue from London, good news for Saints perhaps.

Jan Bednarek looks set to leave St Mary's in the next 48 hours, but will his destination be Aston Villa whom he looked certain to join in a proposed loan deal a day or so ago or will it be West Ham United who now seem interested in muscling out Villa with the lure of European Football albeit it in the Europa Conference League.

It is unclear yet whether the Hammers are intending on making it a permanent move or just a loan, the problem for Bednarek is that it would appear that neither are that interested in him as a first choice defender in anything other than the short term, Villa want him to cover new signing Diego Carlos who will now miss the rest of the season injured and West Ham as a replacement for Craig Dawson who wants to leave, but who would not have been first choice this season.

BESaint added 19:07 - Aug 30 Bednarek and Walcott on the bench this evening, so are they staying? Jack Stephens and Oriel Romeu not on the bench (or in the starting XI), are they leaving?? On Sunday, at a charity match, I met Jo Tessem, Jason Dodd, AND Reuben AGBOOLA, happy days!!

highfield49 added 13:36 - Aug 31 Media suggesting that Bournemouth, as well as Watford, are showing interest in Jack Stephens, so it's looking more likely for the departure of both he and Bednarek this week. As for the prospect of signing Dawson I genuinely can't see what he would add to the squad when we have Lyanco, Simeu and Valery all fit and available to play in central defence when needed. That said it's a shame that Bednarek seems to have burned his bridges at the club and I can only presume that his potential lack of playing time costing him his place at the World Cup is, as suggested by others, a major factor.
