Aston Villa open talks to sign £18m star to ease Grealish's creative burden

Aston Villa are keen on signing the Werder Bremen attacker Milot Rashica this summer.

The 24-year-old has done very well in the Bundesliga and he could prove to be a sensational signing for Dean Smith’s squad.

Last season AstonVilla struggled to create chances and score goals. They have already signed a quality striker in Ollie Watkins and they need to add to their creative department now.

Rashica can play as an attacking midfielder or a winger and his versatility will be an added bonus for Aston Villa and Dean Smith.

The 24 year old picked up eleven goals and eight assists for the German outfit last season and it will be interesting to see if he can settle in quickly and make an immediate impact in the Premier League next season.

According to reports, the player will cost around 18 million pounds and Aston Villa are prepared to sign him this summer. They have already opened talks to sign the player. 

The Premier League side will be looking to secure a respectable finish this coming season and they must look to get these signings over the line in order to do well.

Aston Villa barely managed to survive relegation last year and they will be determined to avoid a similar season this time around.

The Premier League side were overly reliant on Grealish last season and they cannot afford to make the same mistake twice.
