# Villa eye move for American youngster Keaton Parks

Aston Villa appear to be putting plans in place for Premier League football next season, that’s according to a report from Record in Portugal.

[As cited on Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/aston-villa-make-approach-american-player-already-planning-pl-promotion/), they claim that Villa want to agree a deal in principle for Benfica youngster Keaton Parks.

Steve Bruce’s men have already made contact with the Portuguese side to discuss a deal for next summer when they believe they will be playing top flight football.

The report hints that securing Premier League football will play a big role in any potential deal for the American.

Villa lost the play-off final against Fulham last season and will be hoping to mount another promotion push this time around.

Bruce will be hoping that he can put a difficult summer behind him, with a host of financial worries surrounding the club off the pitch, which appear to have been put to bed following the recent takeover.
