Aston Villa will be looking to win promotion to the Premier League.

Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan believes Aston Villa will win promotion to the Premier League.

Aston Villa are gearing up for the visit of Hull City on August 5 as Steve Bruce looks to enjoy a fruitful first season in charge of the Villans.

Supporters wait to see Aston Villa's new signing John Terry during the press conference at Villa Park on July 3, 2017 in Birmingham, England.

The veteran manager took over from Roberto Di Matteo last October but could only manage a 13th-placed finish come May.

However, Bruce has four Premier League promotions under his belt and Jordan believes that a fifth could well happen next season.

The Villans have had quite a productive summer so far, signing four players, but none are attacking options – Sam Johnstone, a goalkeeper, defenders John Terry and Christopher Samba and defensive midfielder Glenn Whelan.

Ahmed Elmohamady has also joined, but Aston Villa need more firepower in attacking areas if they are to win promotion.
