According to reports from Tutto Mercato, Aston Villa need to complete a move for Hull City striker Abel Hernandez by Friday.

Aston Villa have spent heavily in the transfer market so far this summer but the Midlands based outfit are not done with their business as of yet and it is widely believed that they are currently in the market to bring in another striker.

Reports (Daily Mail) have claimed that Hull City star Abel Hernandez is one of the targets for Villa and the Uruguayan international basically issued a come-and-get-me plea during an interview with Sport 890 earlier this month.

Despite the encouragement, Villa have seemingly not made a concrete bid to sign Hernandez as of yet and reports from Tutto Mercato state that the Championship side are running out of time at the moment.

It has been claimed that Hull City have set a deadline till Friday to listen to offers for Hernandez and that the Tigers will not be entertaining any approaches for the striker once the deadline has passed.

Hernandez scored an impressive 22 goals for Hull last season and Villa could well regret missing out on the striker if they do not move soon, especially considering his apparent availability.
