Aston Villa have won just twice in 10 games without captain Jack Grealish, who remains sidelined due to a shin injury. Villa boss Dean Smith told reporters the club will look to spend in the summer. He said: "We have to make sure we are looking to improve as a squad next season. We looked at it when we got promoted and we had to build a squad from scratch pretty much. We bought in 13 new faces, five this season and we have to add to that squad to keep improving."

Richarlison is not consistent enough for the attacking quality that he possesses and can offer a lot more going forward, manager Carlo Ancelotti has said. Asked to assess Richarlison's season, Ancelotti told a news conference: "Not so consistent for the quality he has.
The Italian added: "He had a good spell when Dominic Calvert-Lewin was out but can do much better next season and I hope he can do better this season as well."
