Aston Villa are on the hunt for a new midfielder and a left-back in the remainder of the transfer window.

According to the Express and Star, Aston Villa are still chasing two more transfers this month.

Smith’s side have just over a week left in the transfer window to get their business done, and Villa are anticipating making more additions to their squad.

Smith wants to add a new central midfielder and a left-back to his team to ensure that Villa have enough quality to push into the play offs.

The claret and blues’ form has dipped of late, and they have won just two of their last 11 matches in the Championship.

Villa have slipped a long way out of play off contention, and are currently in 13th place in the second tier standings.

Smith’s side now need a very strong run of form if they are to make their way into the top six.

And there is a feeling around Villa that more quality will need to be added to their squad if they are to stand a chance of earning promotion.

Smith particularly wants a defensive midfielder and a left-back, as they have been two areas of weakness for the Villans so far this season.
