Report suggests VIlla are ready to spend big this summer, 24-yr-old on their radar – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Aston Villa are thought to be keen on signing the Werder Bremen winger Milot Rashica this summer.
The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Villa Park for months now and Football Insider are reporting that Rashica remains on the club’s shortlist of attacking targets this summer.
The Premier League side held talks with the Bundesliga club regarding the signing of the player last summer but the two parties did not manage to secure an agreement.
It will be interesting to see if Villa can succeed this summer.
Apparently, the Premier League side are looking to sign two quality attackers who can play in the wide areas and they are prepared to spend big this summer.
SL View: Rashica would be a good signing for a reasonable price
Rashica has been in mixed form in the Bundesliga this season but he has shown his qualities in the past and he could prove to be a quality addition to Dean Smith’s attack.
The Kosovo international is a wide forward who can operate on both flanks and he will add goals and creativity to the side. The 24-year-old has two goals and five assists for the German side so far this season.
The player will be out of contract like summer and the German side will be under pressure to cash in on him if he does not sign a contract extension this summer.
Villa will be hoping to make the most of his contract situation at the German club and sign him for a reasonable fee this summer. Rashica is still only 24 and he is yet to reach his peak.
If the Premier League side can sign him for a reasonable fee this summer, it could prove to be a wise investment for them.
It remains to be seen where the 24-year-old ends up eventually.
