Aston Villa have agreed a move for Wesley Moraes, subject to a work permit.
Aston Villa have agreed a deal for Club Brugges striker Wesley Moraes, HLN report.
The Brazilian is set to sign for £22 million, a club record deal and the most expensive transfer out of the Belgian league.
Moraes netted 17 goals last season and had attracted interest from teams across Europe.
Villa’s deal came out of nowhere, and will have left one or two sides stunned.
Moraes’ move is subject to a work permit. The Telegraph report he is flying into Birmingham this weekend to put the finishing touches on a move.
Villa fans were left impress, excited, and quickly checking YouTube for videos of their new striker.
They also noted that it likely signals the end of their pursuit of Tammy Abraham, who fired the side to promotion.
Chelsea are expected to want to retain his services. Moraes is similarly capable of leading the line and this suggests Villa have decided to move on quickly.
