Others believe the honour may be coming too early, but many still agree the Villa captain has already cemented his place in club history thanks to his loyalty and performances during some of the club’s most important years.

If officially confirmed, the statue would become one of the most talked-about tributes in Aston Villa’s recent history and would further highlight the enormous impact John McGinn has had on the club and its supporters.
