Aston Villa tipped to cut short Tiago Ilori loan

Aston Villa boss Remi Garde wants to cut short Tiago Ilori’s loan deal and send him back to Liverpool this month, claim reports today.

The 22-year-old centre-back was signed on a season-long deal by former Villa boss Tim Sherwood in September but he was sacked a month later.

Ilori hasn’t made a single appearance for Villa and has only made their match-day squad once.

Liverpool can recall the Portugal Under-21 international this month and Villa want to take advantage of that if possible.

Ilori was signed by Liverpool back in 2013 from Sporting Lisbon for £7million. Since then he’s had loan spells with Granada, Bordeaux and Villa after failing to break into the Liverpool first team set-up.
