Genk striker Mbwana Samatta is attracting Premier League interest.

The Express & Star says Aston Villa are interested in Samatta.

The Tanzanian forward scored a stunning 32 goals in 51 appearances last season for Belgian side Genk - the same club from which Villa previously signed Christian Benteke in 2012.

Leicester City, Watford and Burnley are all thought to be keen on the striker too - who can also feature on the wing, but prefers a central role.
