The Guardian‘s Deputy Sport News Editor Ed Aarons is reporting that we are one of three teams interested in signing Aston Villa winger Albert Adomah.

Middlesbrough and Leeds United are also said to be keen on the 30-year-old, who has less than a year left on his contract at Villa Park:

With the number of wingers we currently have at our disposal, I doubt our interest is concrete. You also have to consider that Aitor Karanka had a run-in with Adomah back in 2015 when he was Boro boss which would make a move even more surprising.

The Ghanaian winger made up with the Spaniard, but he was eventually sold in August 2016 with Adama Traore moving in the other direction.

There is no doubting Adomah’s ability for scoring goals at this level. He hit the back of the net 15 times for Villa and was the club’s top scorer last season. However, I think we can label this rumour under “unlikely.”
