If we learnt anything from Aston Villa’s 5-5 draw with Nottingham Forest, it’s that Dean Smith’s side could do with a new goalkeeper.
The result seems to lie more at the feet of Orjan Nyland than any other player, especially given Tammy Abraham’s heroics in attack, scoring four goals on the night.
Therefore, we thought we’d look at some names Villa could sign in January.
