Cost £7.5m in January: Why Aston Villa should sign PL teenager to solve problem area – view
McCormack likely to leave
The Daily Mail claim Sunderland are close to completing a deal to sign Ross McCormack on loan, in a move that would see Simon Grayson form a reunion with the forward after their time together at Leeds.
McCormack, 30, has endured a dismal spell at Villa Park since his £12million move from Fulham last summer but still needs to be replaced.
Lookman can offer that cover, with his versatility in the final third likely to be key and offer Bruce multiple options.
