Aston Villa have significantly strengthened their squad this summer and they have no intention to stop their transfer business.
The West Midlands club have signed eight players this summer as manager Unai Emery prepares his squad to compete in the Champions League next season against the biggest clubs in the world.
Villa are interested in signing an attacking player this summer and they have reportedly made up their mind who they want to support Ollie Watkins next season.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Unai Emery’s side are ready to meet the price set by fellow Premier League club Chelsea for Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku.
The Blues are looking for a fee of £37.5m to let the striker leave the club and Villa are willing to pay that price.
Napoli are also keen on signing the Belgian striker, who are managed by Lukaku’s former manager Antonio Conte.
Aston Villa are looking to add more depth to their squad as they are preparing themselves to deal with the heavy fixture list next season.
To cope with the number of matches they will play next season, they are ready to sign a player who can provide cover for first choice attacker Watkins.
Lukaku is out of favour at Chelsea and the Blues are looking to cash in on him and considering Villa are ready to meet his price tag, Lukaku could turn up for Emery’s side next season.
His personal preference would be to join Italian giants Napoli but they have struggled to reach an agreement with Chelsea.
