Aston Villa target Abel Hernandez has essentially issued a come and get me plea in an interview with Uruguayan Sports radio station Sport 890.

The Hull City striker spoke at length about his future and confirmed that he had received interest from Turkey and Italy but he was keen to continue his career in England whether it be at the KC Stadium or elsewhere.

Not good at Spanish? He states that if Aston Villa made a move for him he would not ‘hesitate’ about the move.

It will surely put Aston Villa on red alert with it emerging that the striker has a release clause of around £10 million in his contract.

The 25-year-old moved to England from Palermo in 2014 but was relegated the same season with Hull City. He played a major part in the club’s return to England’s top division at the first time of asking, though.

He found the net on 21 occasions and also laid on two goals in the 2015/16 campaign. Hull are currently in a crisis with no manager and only 11 fit senior players ahead of the Premier League kick off.

It would be a superb coup for Aston Villa.
