Aston Villa have been told they would face a big problem if they tried to sign Jadon Sancho permanently in the summer.
Sancho is currently on loan at Villa Park from Manchester United and is expected to become a free agent when his contract at Old Trafford expires at the end of the season, with the Red Devils believed to have decided against activating a 12-month extension to his deal.
Villa boss Unai Emery said last week he is interested in keeping Sancho beyond the end of this campaign.
But former Tottenham player Jamie O’Hara believes wages would be a stumbling block to any potential deal.
Asked if Villa should give Sancho a deal, O’Hara told 10bet: “Maybe if the wages were right, I guess.
“If the wages they could come to an agreement on, then yeah. He's a talented football player.
“Man United paid 80 million pounds for him, putting him on 350 grand a week. And that's the problem they've had.
“He looked like he'd lost the fire in his belly. He looked like he was more about going out than actually playing football.
“But he looks like he's found his way again. He's a talented player, got tons of ability and he can make things happen.
“So if you can make a deal happen that works for both parties, then, yeah, he's definitely worth having in your squad for sure. But I just don't know what sort of wages he's going to want.
“And that's where I think the problem will be for Aston Villa, because they're not going to pay 200 grand a week for Jadon Sancho.”
