Aston Villa supporting Joe Lolley has been on Dean Smith’s wishlist for a long time, but Crystal Palace are also keen.
According to the Birmingham Mail, Aston Villa are keen on Nottingham Forest winger Joe Lolley.
Villa have been tracking Lolley for some time, with Dean Smith a big fan of the Forest man.
And Smith feels that Villa’s promotion to the top flight has now enabled his side to chase a possible deal for the 26-year-old.
Villa are said to be willing to pay £10 million for Lolley, with Smith putting the attacker near the top of his list of targets for this summer.
The claret and blues are looking to make an instant impact back in the Premier League and feel that Lolley is capable of performing in the top tier.
The wide-man, who grew up supporting Villa, was Forest’s star man over the past campaign – claiming 11 assists and scoring 11 goals.
If Villa are to sign Lolley they do not face a clear run for the skilful playmaker though.
Crystal Palace are also said to be keen on Lolley, as they look to upgrade their attack.
