The 20-year-old scored 26 goals on loan at Bristol City two years ago.
Aston Villa are reportedly interested in bringing in Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham on loan, which would be a coup for the Midlands club.
According to Birmingham Live, Villa are interested in the 20-year-old but the forward would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
Following the arrival of new owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens, the EFL have lifted the claret and blues’ transfer embargo and the club appear anxious to make up for lost time.
The club has reportedly secured the services of super agent Jorge Mendes, with one of his clients, goalkeeper Andre Moreira joining the club on loan from Atletico Madrid.
Villa boss Steve Bruce is reportedly desperate to add striking reinforcements with four forwards currently out injured and landing Abraham would be excellent business.
The Chelsea academy graduate is one of the most talented young English strikers and has proven Championship pedigree.
Two years ago at the age of just 18, he scored 26 goals on loan at Bristol City, providing the bright spark in a team that had a relegation scare.
Last season was less successful at Swansea City, with Abraham scoring just 8 goals in 39 games in a season that ended in relegation for the Welsh side.
The Englishman has undeniable quality and is an out and out goalscorer who is lethal in front of goal and can hold the ball up and link up play well.
If the new management can persuade Jack Grealish, who has been heavily linked with Tottenham Hotspur, to stay and Abraham to join, they could have a frightening attack in the upcoming season.
Villa begin their Championship campaign against Hull City on Monday 6th August and will look a much stronger side with Abraham in their squad.
