Aston Villa to make Championship record bid for Hull striker Abel Hernandez

Aston Villa are planning a massive bid for Hull City striker Abel Hernandez.

The Sun says Villa are offering a huge Championship-record £20million for Hull striker Hernandez.

Villa's new Chinese rulers want the Uruguayan hitman, 26, and tabled a massive package to tempt the Tigers.

The bid is £14m up front with £3m on Villa achievements and £3m for goals and appearances.

More surprising is Hull have not snapped their hands off — though they are preparing to spend, which does point to a sale.
