Villa are closing in on the signing of Galatasaray attacker Nicolo Zaniolo.
The 24-year-old Italy International is due to undergo a medical at Bodymoor Heath on Wednesday and will join initially on loan, with the deal including an option to buy.
Villa have moved for Zaniolo, who can play in a number of attacking positions, after Emi Buendia was ruled out for most of the season with a serious knee injury.
Zaniolo is well known to Villa transfer chief Monchi from their time together at Roma.
He moved to Galatasaray for £13million in January after a proposed move to Bournemouth broke down.
