Benik Afobe

The Express are linking Aston Villa with a sensational West Midlands move for Benik Afobe.

The Wolves striker was the nation's top scorer last season with 32 goals, and already has two in as many games this campaign.

The former Arsenal forward moved to Molineux for around £2m in January, and netted against Villa in their pre-season friendly draw.

Afobe, and England U21 international, has three years left on his contract signed in the winter and Kenny Jackett is expected to attempt to turn down any advances.

Andros Townsend

The Daily Star are reporting that Villa will have to see off West Ham, Sunderland and Newcastle if they want to sign Andros Townsend.

The England winger looks destined to leave Tottenham this summer and his former manager Sherwood remains keen.

Townsend has been loaned out nine times in his White Hart Lane career - including a spell at St Andrew's.
