Aaron Tshibola has been encouraged to leave Aston Villa.

The Daily Mail says Villa are looking to prune their squad after 11 new signings with £5million midfielder Tshibola a target for new Doncaster Rovers manager Darren Moore.

Tshibola, 24, has been told he can leave Villa Park on a free having spent the last two seasons on loan at MK Dons and Kilmarnock, who finished third in the SPL.

The midfielder was hot property when he signed from Reading in 2016 but suffered under the managerial merry-go-round at Villa Park and made only nine appearances for the club.

Moore, who has taken over at League One Doncaster after getting the sack at West Brom, believes Tshibola can inspire a promotion bid.
