Agent reveals Brazilian duo in Aston Villa talks for Wesley

Aston Villa striker Wesley has cut short his loan with Club Brugge.

Wesley suffered a career-threatening knee injury playing for Villa at Burnley two years ago and has struggled to return to the level that persuaded Villa to buy him from Brugge for £22million in summer 2019.

The 25-year-old's agent Paulo Nehmy said: "Internacional and Sao Paulo made a proposal, Sao Paulo directly to Aston Villa, but they have to communicate with the staff.

"The decision will be in the project that the clubs will have for Wesley on the pitch.

"We will analyse the best fit for his style of play, so that he develops again. He has the dream of playing for the national team and there's the World Cup next year.

"By having a great year, I think he can have a chance, because Brazil coach Tite liked him a lot physically and tactically. We want to make a decision before the new year."
