According to various outlets, Aston Villa are seriously considering a move for Dortmund midfielder, Julian Brandt. While nothing concrete has emerged yet, the player's name has reportedly featured in internal discussions about possible reinforcements ahead of the run-in. Aston Villa are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Tottenham and Newcastle are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Aston Villa are only scoring 0.67 goals per game (4 in 6) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. Julian Brandt would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Reports suggest Aston Villa are monitoring Wilson Isidor, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Ruben Vargas whereas Dortmund have not been associated with other players at this stage.
