This whole idea of 'culture vulture' in London is just begging American dynamic, London's always been multicultural, Ladbroke Grove has Moroccans, Harlesden has Somalis, Brixton has Jamaicans, if you're shaped by it, you're part of it. Only nerds are out here trying to gatekeep.
Why?
These are the kinds of things I said when I was a teenager but now in my adulthood that I have a child I actually don’t think London is a good place to raise kids…
🚨 NEW: Aston Villa were keen on signing a wide player in January & were interested Rayan, who joined Bournemouth. Villa made calls with his representatives to discuss the potential figures involved, & also made background checks on his personality traits. Sources close to Rayan said he was already convinced of Bournemouth’s project. @J_Tanswell #avfc
🚨 NEW: Villa have held discussions with a view to signing Bologna winger Jonathan Rowe, as recently as last month. Villa asked what the parameters of an agreement would look like. The Athletic can reveal other wide options that Villa have explored are Crysencio Summerville, who is likely to be more expensive than Rowe, & Karim Adeyemi. @J_Tanswell #avfc
