Fulham striker Ross McCormack is a target for Aston Villa.
The Mail on Sunday says Villa want McCormack to lead them out of the Championship next season.
The 29-year-old has been part of a Fulham side that has barely survived in the Championship this season but he has still managed to score 23 goals.
Middlesbrough made an effort to sign him in January and there were enquiries from Bournemouth and Derby but Fulham resisted and gave the Scotland international a new contract.
