Aston Villa are reportedly considering a summer move for Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe, according to Football Insider.
The 26-year-old is entering his final 12 months on his current Whites contract and is yet to agree terms over a new deal at Elland Road.
Roofe scored 15 times under Marcelo Bielsa last season, including a dramatic last-minute winner against Villa in December.
Newcastle were keen on the player back in January, and it appears as if Dean Smith may decide to make a move for the player over the summer to bolster Villa’s attacking options.
Tammy Abraham’s future at Villa Park remains up in the air, with the Chelsea striker possibly staying with the Blues next season as a result of their looming transfer ban.
If Abraham does indeed stay at Stamford Bridge, Villa will certainly have to add to their striker options, so a move for Roofe could be a smart signing by the club, especially at a relatively low fee.
