Aston Villa boss Dean Smith is said to be keen on Blackburn Rovers forward Bradley Dack.

Dean Smith admitted in the Birmingham Mail that Blackburn Rovers’ Bradley Dack was a very good player earlier this season, even though he was ineffectual against Aston Villa.

Villa are said to be keen on Dack by The Sun, as Smith’s side look to upgrade their attack.

Smith is very familiar with Dack, having managed against him regularly in the Championship.

And even though Villa beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 back in March, Smith admitted that Dack was an exceptional talent.

“I look at Glenn Whelan in the first half. Bradley Dack is a very good player and he made him become a defensive midfielder rather than a number 10 for them today,” Smith said.

The fact that Smith rates Dack is interesting, given that Villa are now said to be trying to sign the Blackburn man.

Dack has never played Premier League football, but he has been one of the most dangerous attackers in the Championship over the past campaign.

Villa want to sign a goalscorer, as they look to replace Tammy Abraham, following the expiration of his loan deal from Chelsea.
