Aston Villa owner Dr Tony Xia has revealed that the Midlands side are in talks to sign a ‘world class’ number nine striker and also a full back with deals hopefully being wrapped up in the next week.
The Championship side’s owner took to Twitter earlier this evening to reveal that the club were looking to complete both pieces of business within the next week ahead of next weekend’s clash with Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

The Villans have been linked with various strikers this summer including Hull City’s Abel Hernandez, Bristol City’s Jonathon Kodjia and Chelsea forward Patrick Bamford.
In the full back position the club have been linked with Ritchie De Laet, and recently the American international DeAndre Yedlin.
