Aston Villa to make Club Brugge striker Wesley Moraes record signing

Aston Villa have offered bumper money for Club Brugge striker Wesley Moraes.

HLN says Villa have tabled a €25m bid for the Brazilian, which would represent the richest sale in the league's history.

There's a confidence of the deal being settled on Friday after Villa also tabled a five-year contract to Wesley.

Aston Villa are burning off competition from Bayer Leverkusen, who attempted to prise Wesley away from Club Brugge in January.

The Brazilian attacker - who scored seventeen goals and produced nine assists last season - will follow in the footsteps of (former) strikers like Christian Benteke, Luc Nilis and Gilles De Bilde to Villa Park.
