According to reports, Aston Villa is willing to spend a lot of money on a talented forward who is compared to Mohamed Salah of Liverpool.
According to recent reports, Villa is working hard to bolster their roster in the January transfer window as manager Unai Emery pursues Champions League qualification.
Villa has won eight of their first twelve Premier League games, putting them in a real position to finish in the top four. They are currently only three points behind Manchester City, who are leading the table.
Emile Smith Rowe of Arsenal is one of the possible additions the team is considering, according to Football.London. Furthermore, there are reports that Villa is looking to add attacking players, with Albert Gudmundsson of Genoa being the main target. With five goals in 12 Serie A games, the Icelandic international’s stellar play has caught the attention of teams like Tottenham. The 26-year-old can play down the middle, on the left, or right, spanning the front three.
Calciomercato.it reports indicate that Villa is prepared to pay a high price to acquire Gudmundsson, indicating their desire to strengthen the team.
Gudmundsson’s current team, Genoa, is ranked 13th in Serie A, five points above the drop zone, and could be open to a deal. According to Calciomercato.it, Genoa is worth £17.5 million.
