“To add someone like Josh King this late one would be another masterstroke in my opinion, it would really show what they want to do moving forward.

“There’s a lot of interest in him, I think the fee’s going to be quite big but I think the Aston Villa owners have shown they’re willing to put their hand in their pocket to achieve what they want. That’s to be a settled team in the Premier League. 

“He’s a player if he comes in, he’s not only a striker – you’ve got Ollie Watkins, still got Wesley to come back, brought in Traore – there’s competition and everything’s looking good – but in the back of your mind, if Watkins picks up a wee injury, Wesley’s not back, who do you play?

“You’ve got Keinan Davis but who else can take on that mantle? There’s a guy who’s been there and done it in King. We know he can score goals in the Premier League and I think he’d be a great acquisition for Villa. I would like to see them go out and do it.”
