Aston Villa express interest in Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy | OneFootball

Aston Villa have set their sights on Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy as they look for attacking reinforcements.

Villa boss Dean Smith has been unable to field a recognised striker for the last three games.

Wesley Moraes (knee ligament) is out for the rest of the season, Keinan Davis is still recovering from a hamstring injury and Jonathan Kodjia was ill before moving to Qatari side Al-Gharafa on loan for the rest of the season.

Guirassy only arrived at Amiens from German side FC Köln last summer, but the Ligue 1 outfit are seemingly prepared to move the 23-year-old on this month, if the price is right.

And with Villa in desperate need of goalscoring options, they might be willing to take a punt.

The Daily Mail reports that Amiens asked agent Mark McKay to put the feelers out amongst English teams and Villa have responded positively.

Leicester are also rumoured to be interested, but they are unlikely to get involved in a bidding war given the excellent form of strikers Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho this season.
