Aston Villa have been superb this season and now they get the chance to bolster their ranks in pursuit of a grandstand finish in 2023-24.

The Villans have been linked with Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville in recent weeks.

Fabrizio Romano reported in December that Villa were one of several clubs tracking the 22-year-old.

However, Leeds are understandably not willing to sell Summerville mid-season as they continue to challenge for promotion.

TEAMtalk have reported that the Whites have placed a £30million price tag on the Dutchman to try and deter potential suitors.

Summerville has enjoyed an outstanding season for Leeds so far, registering 12 goals and six assists in 23 Championship appearances.

His efforts have kept Daniel Farke’s charges in the playoff picture. At present, they’re fourth in the table, seven points off second.

Meanwhile, Villa are currently second in the Premier League table, just two points off the summit.

Unai Emery will no doubt want to make some additions to maintain strength in depth for the rest of the season and beyond.

The Athletic has reported that the Villa boss is prioritising a right-back, but also looking at reinforcements on the wing. Leon Bailey is currently the only out-and-out winger used by Emery.

Summerville would be a great shout for the Villans. He has been going from strength to strength, has a high ceiling, and knows what the Premier League is about.

The ‘exceptional‘ talent’s £30million price tag isn’t particularly prohibitive, so let’s see whether Villa opt to make a move now or potentially wait until the summer.

The latter option brings more risks with it for the Villans. If Leeds go up, Summerville’s price tag will no doubt rise even higher.
