Villa fighting to keep Scotland U21 striker Wilson

Aston Villa remain in contract talks with striker Rory Wilson as they try to keep the Scotland Under-21 international at the club.

The 18-year-old's deal expires at the end of the season and he could leave for just 270,000 euros (£228,000) compensation if he moves to a European club.

Villa have tabled several contract offers of five years and want to get a deal done before January, when Wilson is able to speak to clubs outside of England and could sign a pre-contract agreement.

Several European sides, including Bayer Leverkusen, are believed to be interested in the forward.
