Former Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is set to take over at Queens Park Rangers.
With Tim Sherwood set to take over at Queens Park Rangers, we take a look at three Aston Villa players he could look to sign at Loftus Road.
Rudy Gestede
Sherwood brought Gestede to Villa back in 2015, after the powerful forward had scored frequently for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship.
Gestede remains a real threat in the second tier, but he has fallen down the pecking order at Villa.
The claret and blues have one of the strongest strike forces in the Championship, with the likes of Ross McCormack, Jonathan Kodjia and Jordan Ayew all competing for places at Villa Park.
As a result, Gestede has regularly been used as a substitute this season rather than a starter.
With QPR struggling to find a potent scorer, Gestede could fill that void and Sherwood could make a move for target man in January.
Ashley Westwood
Westwood’s Villa career has gone downhill in recent seasons, with supporters of the claret and blues seemingly divided over the central midfielder’s ability.
Westwood was booed on to the pitch in Villa’s latest home match, and it seems that his future at the Midlands club is now in doubt.
QPR could now target the central midfielder, who would add composure and creativity to their midfield.
Gabriel Agbonlahor
Bruce has promised to give Agbonlahor another chance at Villa, but the forward’s future at the club still seems uncertain.
Although Agbonlahor has been handed some fleeting opportunities lately, he faces a tough task to break back into Villa’s first-team.
