# Madrid Forward Interests Villa

Aston Villa are interested in bringing the Real Madrid forward, Jese Rodriguez to Villa Park with the Villans enquiring over the availability of the 22-year old in August.

[Miguel Del Pozo from the Spanish news outlet, AS reports](https://as.com/diarioas/2015/10/15/english/1444911553_055741.html) that Serie A sides Napoli and Inter Milan have also shown an interest for the forward, who could soon become available with the former-Spain youth international only appearing three times under Rafael Benitez so far this season.

The players agent has recently suggested a move away from Madrid could be on the cards if his client isn’t given more playing time. In 23 appearances last season, Jese found the net four times.

### A Welcome Link

For the Villa faithful, this is possibly a great rumour to hear only if it is a far fetched one. Tim Sherwood’s side has lacked firepower since losing Christian Benteke over the summer and new signing, Rudy Gestede not offering the necessary threat.
