Summer signing Wesley Moraes has suffered a serious knee injury during the 2-1 New Year’s Day win against Burnley, and he has ruled out for the rest of the season.
Villa have been linked with a host of strikers already like Michy Batshuayi, Olivier Giroud, Emmanuel Adebayor and AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piu0105tek.
According to The Telegraph, Villa have also asked Palace about the possibility of signing Christian Benteke in the January transfer window.
The 37-times capped Belgian international enjoyed three wonderful seasons at Villa, where he scored 49 goals in 101 games in all competitions.
