Aston Villa are prepared to take a huge financial hit on Ross McCormack, according to The Birmingham Mail.

McCormack has struggled to make an impact at Villa since his move from Fulham in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £12 million.

The 31-year-old striker, who has had loan spells at Nottingham Forest and Melbourne City during his time at Villa, does not appear to have a future at Villa.

According to The Birmingham Mail, The Villans are desperate to get the former Leeds United striker off their books, and have prepared to take a huge financial hit.

Where next?

It seems that Villa want to sell McCormack, and one suspects that the former Leeds and Fulham striker will leave the Championship club this summer.

The big question is where the Scotland international striker will go. A return to Leeds perhaps? Or maybe back to his first professional club Rangers? What about a loan move to another Championship club in England?
