According to John Percy from The Telegraph, the striker will join Dean Smith’s side on a short term deal.
With Wesley ruled out for the season, Villa wanted to bring in a striker this month but they failed to sign any of their top targets.
Baston has been in poor form for Swansea and it will be interesting to see how he performs in the Premier League.
A fresh start at a new club could be a positive for him. He will be looking to regain his sharpness and confidence with regular game time at Villa Park.
