This article includes exclusive comment from former Aston Villa scout Bryan King.

Aston Villa’s summer transfer window has been dominated by potential deals involving strikers so far.

Unai Emery is keen to add quality to his squad as they bid to fight their way back into the top four this term, and attacking additions are seemingly an area of major priority for the second city outfit.

Nicolas Jackson is the latest man to be linked with a switch to Villa, while the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho had also been tipped to join earlier in the summer.

New arrivals seem inevitable before the Premier League season gets underway, but that will also likely mean that the squad will need to be trimmed in order to facilitate those arrivals.

Louie Barry has agreed to join Sheffield United on loan

One man who has been linked with a move away from Villa all summer is Louie Barry.
