Aston Villa are eyeing a loan move for Real Madrid star Endrick this summer, according to journalist Ben Jacobs .
The Villains need attacking reinforcement as they prepare for a very competitive domestic and European campaign.
Villa have now set their sights on the 20-year-old, who is open to leaving on loan for playing time as competition is high at his parent club.
Unai Emery would love Endrick as he can play as a striker, secondary striker, and on the right wing, giving the Spaniard many ways to structure the attack.
The Aston Villa target caught the eye in the second half of last season after bagging eight goals and eight assists in 21 appearances on loan in France.
Endrick has always been destined for big things but might have to leave Spain to fulfill his potential. Villa Park could be the perfect stomping ground for him.
However, it is worth noting that the Birmingham-based club are not alone in the race for his signature, with Roma also showing interest.
Villa should do everything to land Endrick this summer
Lauded as a ‘phenomenal player ‘ since his early days, Endrick has all the tools to become a world-class star.
For a manager like Emery, who loves helping players fulfil their potential, he would be a terrific pick-up.
Just like Emery helped Morgan Rogers become a top Premier League attacker, he can develop Endrick into something special.
If Villa are lucky, they might have the opportunity even to keep him permanently, as Madrid are stacked for the considerable future.
Beating the Italian side to Endrick would strengthen their attacking options while showing they can attract elite young talent.
With the right environment and regular opportunities, this could prove one of the summer’s smartest moves.
Elsewhere, Villa have sold Lucas Digne to Paris Saint-Germain permanently while the Premier League outfit closes in on Matteo Ruggeri.
