da aviator aposta： Deadline day could be a big day for Aston Villa both in terms of incomings and outgoings.
da pinnacle： Indeed, the Villans are in the market for a number of new players as the likes of Davie Selke and Christian Benteke have been linked with the club, but there is also a big-name loan departure on the horizon.
James Chester is all set to move to Stoke as Sky Sports’ transfer centre stated on Thursday evening that a medical is booked in for the Villa captain. However, with fitness issues, things shouldn’t be all but confirmed.

Fitness isn’t great
The Stoke Sentinel dragged up some old quotes from the Welshman talking about his injury problems last year, and his fitness doesn’t sound all that promising.
“I have damaged my body indefinitely, really,” said Chester when talking to WalesOnline.
“It is something I am going to have to manage for the rest of my career. It is what it is.
“I am a professional. Hopefully, I can look after it as best I can and play for as long as possible.”
It’s clear that Chester isn’t as fit as he once was, but that doesn’t mean that he can’t pass a medical.
Really it’s up to Stoke whether or not they want to sign a man who has these sorts of problems, as medicals aren’t just a pass or fail type thing.
We’ve seen injured players move club before with Kim Kallstrom’s loan to Arsenal potentially being the most famous example.
With Chester’s impending move only being a six-month loan deal, we can’t imagine Stoke would allow an underlying problem that probably won’t affect him this season to halt their interest in him.
