Dominic Calvert-Lewin to provide the attacking depth required by Aston Villa: Reports
Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio have now departed from the club after a successful loan season at Aston Villa. The Villa Park now craves for a new energetic striker who could fit perfectly into the system of Unai Emery. Calvert-Lewin, despite his injury concerns could be a potential option for Villa as he is available in the market as a free agent.
There are ongoing talks about Newcastle and Manchester United aiming to sign Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa, and if this is true, Aston Villa will lack the spice in their attack which could be somewhat balanced by the signing of Dominic-Calvert Lewin. It would be interesting to see where the 28-year-old ends at the end of the transfer window.
