Aston Villa are hunting for a striker in the January transfer window.

Steve Bruce has told the Birmingham Mail that Aston Villa he is having to get creative in his search for a striker.

Villa are determined to add a new forward in January, as injuries threaten to derail his side’s campaign.

Both Scott Hogan and Jonathan Kodjia are currently out injured, with Keinan Davis Villa’s only fit forward.

Davis was playing for Villa’s development squad at the start of the season, but he now has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders.

The youngster has actually coped well in the first-team so far, and put in some highly impressive performances.

But Bruce is keen to relieve the pressure on the forward, and wants to bring a striker in at the next available opportunity.

Bruce said: “Look, we’re trying but it’s very difficult when you haven’t got money.

“We have to be creative and find someone who can do us a turn on loan.

“It’s not easy but we’ll try.”

Villa have already been linked with a whole host of strikers, as the January window draws closer.

The Villans have been able to cope well with their injuries so far, with Albert Adomah’s scoring form covering for their lack of striking options.
