Watford want to complete Aston Villa transfer ‘this week’
Watford want to complete a loan move for Aston Villa striker Wesley this week, it has been claimed.
The 26-year-old could embark on his fourth loan since the £22million switch to Villa in 2019. He spent time at Club Brugge, Internacional and Levante last season.
The Hornets meanwhile, look to bolster their attack following Ismaila Sarr and Joao Pedro’s exit to Marseille and Brighton respectively. They have identified the Brazilian as the man for their frontline as they target a return to the Premier League next season.
The club have began talks with Villa and hope to seal a deal this week, claims Sunday Mirror journalist, Darren Witcoop. His chances of first-team football at Villa are extremely low.

Munoz, keen on bringing in several new signings to supplement the arrivals of Juan Delgado and Ashley Fletcher, said: “I’m very happy with the president (Dejphon Chansiri) because he’s given me everything to try and improve the team. For me this is amazing.
“If we put together more people then maybe we can decipher more information about more players. But I’m also very happy with Dean (Hughes, recruitment analyst) because he’s working very well.
“But I think having three (minds) is better than having just two, for example, so this is the idea. We are moving forward to try and find what we want.
“As I said in my first press conference (that) the market is not easy. You have a lot of things and different situations. But I’m very happy with the club because they are giving me more support with Luke.
“I think everybody knows about Luke and his experience of the Championship. I think he’s a very good (addition) for us.”
