Villa should sign Morelos to strengthen attack

Wesley is struggling to adapt at Aston Villa after joining from Club Brugge over the summer and could be replaced in the January transfer window. The Villans are unlikely to offload Wesley so soon after signing him, but they could look to add competition in attack.

Alfredo Morelos is one of many strikers on their shortlist, having scored 24 goals in 27 games in all competitions this season, but he won’t come cheap. Wayne Veysey of the Football Insider revealed earlier in November that Rangers are asking for £25m for Morelos, so Villa may have to break their transfer record for the second time in six months.
