A report claims that Aston Villa have cooled their interest in Wells, who is a potential Norwich City and Fulham target this winter.
Norwich City and Fulham are likely to pursue Huddersfield Town striker Nahki Wells in January, although Aston Villa’s interest has waned, the Telegraph reports.
Wells, who has scored three goals this season, has reportedly rejected a new deal at the John Smith’s Stadium and Huddersfield are said to be seeking £8 million for his services.
Aston Villa were listed as Wells suitors in the summer, although Jonathan Kodjia’s arrival and subsequent fine form means they are unlikely to return for the Bermuda international, which could clear the way for one of Norwich or Fulham to pounce, with both sides seemingly keen to add to their attacking ranks this winter.
Norwich missed out on a new striker during the summer window’s closing stages, while no Fulham player has broken the five-goal mark as yet.
Wells scored 18 times for the Terriers – who are currently above Villa, Norwich and Fulham in the Championship – last season.
However, the former Bradford City man, whose contract expires at the end of the 2017-18 campaign, has struggled despite David Wagner’s side’s collective exploits.
