Aston Villa are keen on signing the Atletico Madrid attacker Samuel Lino.
According to a report from TBR Football, Aston Villa are keen on the 24-year-old Brazilian and it remains to be seen whether they decide to make a move for him in the coming months.
Lino has been a key player for Atletico Madrid and he should prove to be a quality acquisition for the West Midlands club as well. Aston Villa could certainly use more quality and depth in the wide areas. The 24-year-old is capable of operating as a left-sided wing-back, a winger as well as a left-back.
His versatility will be an added bonus for Aston Villa if they can get the deal done. They need more quality and depth on the side if they want to do well across multiple competitions. They have secured Champions League qualification and they will look to sustain that level regularly.
