He has continued to find the back of the net and so far this season, he has already registered 13 goals in 14 league outings.

The January transfer window is expected to be interesting for the Nigerian as a number of teams have already indicated their interest.

The Villans are looking to add more firepower to their attack, despite new manager Unai Emery having Ollie Watkins and Danny Ings at his disposal.

Atletico Madrid eye Onuachu

Meanwhile, Paul Onauchu could make a big transfer, as Atletico Madrid seem to have made an inquiry about the Super Eagles striker.

The Colchoneros are looking to revitalise their attack for next season, after an underwhelming campaign that saw the Spanish giants fail in their bid to defend their La Liga crown.

Atletico are presently 15 points off current table toppers and city rivals, Real Madrid. They were also dumped out of the UEFA Champions League in the quarter-finals by Manchester City.
