Robert Snodgrass has revealed why he chose to join Aston Villa on loan this summer instead of Sunderland.
Black Cats boss Simon Grayson had admitted that he had hoped to land the signature of Snodgrass in order to bolster his side this season but missed out to Aston Villa.
The Scotland international has now revealed that he was convinced to join Villa as it would allow him to reunite with manager Steve Bruce. Bruce and Snodgrass enjoy a good relationship as the two helped previously spearhead Hull City to the Premier League.
Whilst talking about why he chose Villa, Snodgrass said, “But I know myself that when there is a manager that knows how to get the best out of you then it’s different, and that’s why I chose Villa. I wanted to work with Steve Bruce again.
“Villa is a great club, a massive club. Steve Bruce has told me what he wants to do. I am part of his long term plan to be part of that in the league then we will take it from there.”
The 29-year-old has plenty of experience under his belt and the Villains will be hoping that he can help them to kick-start their season.
