Aston Villa linked with a move for Fabio Borini

Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the former Liverpool striker Fabio Borini.

The 29-year-old is thought to be a target for Crystal Palace as well.

As per L’Arena (via Birmingham Mail), Aston Villa officials have enquired about the forward and Borini will be available on a free transfer this summer.

Aston Villa need to sign a striker this summer but Borini would be an underwhelming signing.

The Italian has never been a reliable goalscorer and he is unlikely to solve Aston Villa’s problems.

The 29-year-old could be an option off the bench for Villa but Dean Smith needs to bring in someone better than that.
