Aston Villa go for Galatasaray attacker Nicolo Zaniolo

Premier League giants Aston Villa are hoping to sign Nicolo Zaniolo from Galatasaray this summer.

The former Roma attacker is one who has flattered to deceive for much of his career.

However, a move to Turkey has resurrected his career, as he scored five goals in 11 league games last term.

Per Fabrizio Romano, Villa sporting director Monchi is eager to add Zaniolo to his club's squad.

Manager Unai Emery is also an admirer of the attacker, who can play in several positions.

Whether Zaniolo has the fitness to handle a season in the Premier League is unclear.
