After a terrible start of the season and only one victory in the first eleven matches, Aston Villa’s ambitions of making a quick comeback to the Premier League was completely shattered. Their series of seven matches without a defeat in late October and November reignited their hope, but they will need serious reinforcements in order to finish on one of the places that leads to the promotion playoffs.
1. Tammy Abraham
Tammy Abraham should be Villa’s number one target out of all Championship players. Abraham scored 16 goals in the league so far (only Gayle from Newcastle scored more) and he is only 19! Of course, he is contracted to Chelsea and plays in Bristol City on loan, but he already hinted to his club he might leave them if they don’t give him a chance to play. We all know how fierce competition in Chelsea is and the right offer might convince Chelsea to sell the English U21 international.
