Aston Villa are looking to sign Chuba Akpom on loan from Arsenal.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Villa boss Steve Bruce is keen to again work with the 21-year-old striker having coached him at Hull City last season.
Akpom scored seven goals in all competitions, including three in the Championship, as the Tigers won promotion to the Premier League under Bruce.
The Villa manager is looking to offload Ross McCormack this month, and there is interest from a number of clubs, including Sheffield Wednesday, Derby County and Fulham, who he joined the Villans from last summer.
