Aston Villa News: Aston Villa are plotting a move for Chelsea youngster Martell Taylor-Crossdale, reports Football Insider.
The 19-year-old striker’s contract is due to expire later this season.
Martell is a regular for the Blues’ U-23 this season.
A youth product of the Stamford Bridge side, the English striker claimed the Golden Boot for scoring 18 goals in the U-18 Premier League.
In 2017, he signed his first professional contract after turning 17.
And, he was part of the England U-18 side which won the Toulon Tournament.
The teenager is said to be on the radar of English clubs; namely Southampton, Fulham and Bristol City.
Dean Smith is set to face his biggest dilemma, with regards to Tammy Abraham, whose loan-spell will end after this season.
Abraham’s record-breaking 25 goal-haul is the highest by any Villa player in a single season for over a decade.
The Blues-bound Striker has been instrumental in the Lions’ recent success.
Kodjia remains a back-up but his recurrent injury problems have been a concern for Smith.
The Lions should go all out for the English prospect Martell, who may be capable of inheriting Abraham’s throne.
Villa ensuring a place in England’s top flight next season could help them in landing the youngster at Villa Park.
The Lions are currently 5th in the Championship table and are likely to play in the Playoffs next month.
They will be facing the table leaders Norwich City this Sunday in the final league match of the Championship.
