Aston Villa are interested in the signature of Limerick’s Chiedozie Ogbene, who is currently enjoying a successful season in the Irish top division – according to reports from the Irish Independent.
Ogbene has been attracting attention from across England, with many teams from the Premier League and Championship trailing the 20-year-old due to his fine form for the Irish side.
One of the more prominent teams chasing the young forward are Championship promotion hopeful Aston Villa, who are in serious need of a new striking option up front.
Villa have been plagued by injuries this season after losing their first choice strikers Scott Hogan and Jonathan Kodjia to long term injury.
As a result, they are looking for new talent to replace the aforementioned players in the short term to provide goals for the promotion hopefuls.
This means that Ogbene will be an ideal signing for the Midlands side as the young striker has shown great potential in getting goals for the Irish league.
