Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood wants Wolves striker Benik Afobe, in a £10m deal in January, according to the Sun on Sunday.

The Wanderers forward, who netted twice yesterday in the 3-0 win over Huddersfield, has started the season in fine form, picking up from where he left off after last year's 32-goal campaign.

Villa were linked with a move for the striker in the summer, and the paper are reporting Sherwood will go back for the former Arsenal attacker in the winter window.

Wolves rejected a number of bids from Norwich for Afobe's services towards the end of the summer window, and with Gabby Agbonlahor, Jordan Ayew and Scott Sinclair currently misfiring, Sherwood could look to bolster his front-line.
