James Chester played every minute of Aston Villa’s 2017-18 Championship campaign, which is some achievement.
The 29-year-old has really come into his own over the last couple of seasons, and is now widely recognised as one of the best centre-backs outside of the Premier League.
Chester will be hoping to help Villa gain promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs, with Steve Bruce’s side taking on Middlesbrough in the semi-finals.
The centre-back has worn the armband in the absence of John Terry this term, and he will be key to the team’s chances of winning a spot in next season’s Premier League.
If Villa fail to return to the top flight then they will surely face a battle to keep the former Manchester United youngster in this summer’s transfer window.
The Villa supporters absolutely love the defender, and many have taken to social media to express their views on his form during the 2017-18 campaign.
