Villa should sign Gayle to replace Hogan

Scott Hogan is expected to leave Aston Villa this summer which may force Dean Smith into scouring the transfer market for a replacement. Villa brought in Wesley Moraes to replace Tammy Abraham, but the Midlands outfit have a dearth in attacking quality that needs addressing.

As backup, Smith could be left with Keinan Davies and Jonathan Kodjia to if Hogan leaves which won’t exactly fill Premier League defenders full of dread. Villa have been linked with a move for Dwight Gayle this summer and should consider a return for the £40k-per-week Newcastle man as they need more goals.
