# Villa interested in £12m forward

According to [the Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/10/fulham-could-lose-ross-mccormack-for-12-million-if-aston-villa-o/?), Aston Villa are interested in Fulham striker Ross McCormack in the summer, with a return to the Championship looming.

Aston Villa have already been relegated from the Premier League this season and will be playing Championship football next season.

The Scottish forward has a buy-out clause of around £12m, with Norwich and Aston Villa both lurking around him ahead of a summer move. McCormack has been in sublime for for Fulham this season, scoring 22 goals in 39 Championship games.

McCormack might be persuaded to join Aston Villa in the summer, who will have a significantly better squad than McCormack’s current team, Fulham, if they are able to keep hold of some of their better players.

The 29-year-old has been one of the best players in the Championship this season and would be a fantastic addition to the club as they would be looking to bounce straight back up.
