Aston Villa Leading The Race For French Strike Star

Aston Villa is leading the chase to sign FC Sion striker Giovanni Sio.

The 22-year-old is rated one of the best young forwards in France and has also been attracting interest from several clubs in Italy.

Villa boss Alex McLeish is looking to strengthen his forward line after seeing Ashley Young and Stewart Downing leave the club during the summer.

Sio will get the chance to impress McLeish when he lines up against Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday night.

FC Sion is looking for around £3m for his signature and Villa will look to finalize a deal before the end of the transfer window.
