Aston Villa have failed in their attempts to sign Hull City striker Abel Hernandez.

Hernandez had been rumoured to be close to a £14 million plus £6 million in add ons move but now that seemingly is off.

Talk of a move had rumbled on for sometime with owner Dr Tony Xia revealing the £20 millon deal had been knocked back by the Premier League side.

The Uruguayan international has been Hull’s star man since a move from [Serie A](https://readseriea.com/) outfit Palermo in the 2014/15 January window.

He helped seal an immediate return back to the [Premier League](https://readpl.com/) for Hull with 19 goals last season.

It has been said by Pat Murphy that Aston Villa are closing in a move for Bristol City striker Jonathon Kodjia.
