The striker has been a target for the Villans during the summer transfer window with numerous bids being reported.
Previously, the Bristol City owner had stated Kodjia wasn’t for sale but now seemingly a move is imminent for the forward to make the move to Villa Park.
Kodjia is also a target for Derby County, Hull City and West Bromwich Albion but now it seems Villa are closing in on a move for the former Angers man.
The Ivory Coast international found the net twenty times last season for the Robins and will be Aston Villa’s most expensive outlay of the summer if a deal goes through.
Meanwhile a move for Abel Hernandez is said to have fell through with personal terms an issue.
