Aston Villa will step up their attempts to keep World Cup-bound star Matty Cash after he helped Poland to Qatar.
Villa’s attacking right-back only declared his allegiance to Poland last October after qualifying through his mother. His decision has been vindicated already after helping Poland to the finals with a 2-0 play-off victory over Sweden. Atletico Madrid want to sign the former Nottingham Forest youngster, who has three goals and five assists in 57 Premier League appearances for Villa. He has also previously attracted interest from Italian giants AC Milan while at Forest.
Now Cash’s impending appearance on the biggest stage later this year is sure to intensify overseas interest in the ace with Atletico eyeing him as a replacement for Kieran Trippier. Cash, 24, is under contract at Villa until 2025 after signing from Forest in 2020 on a five-year deal for £16million.
