Aston Villa are looking to add to their striking unit and the Championship outfit are thought to be keeping tabs on the Scottish forward Connor Shields.

Shields has been in fine form for Albion Rovers this season and he could be an interesting addition to Steve Bruce’s side.

As per reports, Villa are lining up a January bid for the player. Several Premier League and Championship clubs have been monitoring his progress at Albion Rovers. The likes of Watford, Villa and Sunderland have been linked with the 20-year-old recently.

The 20-year-old is very highly rated in Scotland and he has been named in the SPFL team of the week multiple times already this season.
