Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce is reportedly hoping to bring in a number of attacking reinforcements on loan before the window closes in a few days.
If Aston Villa are successful in their attempts to sign Yannick Bolasie, Sheyi Ojo and Tammy Abraham on loan, Steve Bruce could have the best attack in the Championship at his disposal this season.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Villa are closing in on the signing of Bolasie, after the 29-year-old had positive talks with the club on Tuesday.
Landing the winger, who appears surplus to requirements at Everton, would be a great piece of business by the club and give Bruce some well-needed reinforcements in the final third.
The Villa boss is also reportedly targetting Liverpool winger Ojo and Chelsea striker Abraham, both players with proven Championship pedigree. Abraham scored 26 goals while on loan at Bristol City two years ago, while Ojo impressed during his time at Fulham last season.
The most important piece of transfer business the midlands club did over the summer was to hold onto star playmaker Jack Grealish, and matching the 22-year-old up with three players of Ojo, Abraham and Bolasie’s quality would make Aston Villa a force to be reckoned with.
Despite a summer that was impacted largely by issues off the pitch, Aston Villa have made a strong start to the season, sitting sixth with 7 points from 3 games (a win at home to Brentford Wednesday night would make them joint top).
If Bruce can land these three loan signings, Aston Villa’s attacking options alone would make them among the favourites for promotion.
