Former Preston North End striker Cameron Archer could be sold by Aston Villa for a second time, according to reports. The 22-year-old is back at Villa Park, after his £18million move to Sheffield United last summer. A relegation clause in the deal meant Villa were obliged to buy Archer back, after the Blades went back down to the Championship. Football Insider report that the Midlands club have paid £14m to bring him back, with manager Unai Emery confirming the return in mid-May.
When we finish the season completely we are going to sit with the club, Monchi, Damian , with myself, with Wes Edens and we are going to take decisions.” Archer, a huge hit on loan for Preston in the 2021/22 season, is being linked with another move away from Villa - who are said to be ‘open to listening to offers’. He scored four goals in 29 games for Sheffield United last season, having excelled at Middlesbrough the previous campaign.
