Aston Villa have had a rocky start to the ongoing Premier League campaign with a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United.

 

Now Unai Emery is determined to further strengthen his team in the transfer market and a midfielder is at the top of his agenda following the injury to Emiliano Buendia.

 

 

 

Galatasaray midfielder Zaniolo is top of the Villa boss’ wish list and Aston Villa are keen on landing him.

 

Aston Villa have agreed a deal with the Turkish giants to take the former Roma star on loan this summer.

 

 

And it has been claimed that Zaniolo is now undergoing the main part of his medical with Villa before signing a deal.

 

Aston Villa will hope that the Italian can come through the tests without an issue.

 

 

The 24-year-old joined Galatasaray in January and helped them lift the Turkish Super Lig title.

 

Aston Villa are set to take on Everton on Sunday and if all goes well, Zaniolo might make his debut at Villa Park against the Toffees this weekend.
