Not content with being in the top four of the Championship, Stoke City and West Brom are eyeing a new recruit. They are both chasing a super signing to spearhead their charge for the Premiership and both believe Luke Moore could be that man.
It has been mooted that the two clubs will make an approach that could see Moore moving on a short term deal until the end of the season. It is likely that an option will also be included for the clubs to make the loan permanent.
However, Villa already have the smallest squad in the Premier League meaning it is unlikely they will want to let anyone go as they try to mount a push for Europe.
The Claret and Blue have been linked with a summer swoop for Peter Crouch and a £9 million move for the big England striker could see Moore move permanently when the transfer window re-opens. No go for now though perhaps!
