Aston Villa are light in the wide areas and Bolasie will inject some much-needed flair and pace to their attack.

The Villans will be looking to challenge for promotion once again this year and someone like Bolasie could be a vital addition. The 29-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League and he could make an instant impact in the Championship.

Bolasie is not a part of Marco Silva’s first team plans and therefore a loan deal is ideal for him right now. The Congo international needs to play regular football at this stage of his career.

He was linked with a move to Middlesbrough as well but it seems that Villa have stolen a march on their rivals.
