Aston Villa could make a move for a striker, depending on how well they feel Wesley copes in first-team training, the Daily Mail report.
Wesley has been out with injury for a considerable amount of time for Villa now, but is stepping up his recovery.
And Dean Smith’s side will decide whether or not to go for a new number nine this month, depending on how the Brazilian gets on.
If Wesley does impress or Villa sign a number nine, then Keinan Davis could make a loan exit.
Villa still have high hopes for Davis, who has played a back-up role in their first-team this term, but they don’t want to block his progress by starving him of action.
If Villa do opt to go into the market it seems likely that they would only bring in a back-up forward, to improve their options up-front.
Ollie Watkins may be suffering a goal drought at the moment, but he has made an encouraging start to life at Villa Park since being brought in over the summer.
