ASTON Villa are set to swoop for Cherries striker Callum Wilson if Christian Benteke completes his expected move to Liverpool, according to the Express.

Belgian star Benteke is due to undergo a medical at Anfield in the next 48 hours and could finalise a £32.5million transfer.

And the Express reports that Villa will swiftly move for ex-Coventry hitman Wilson, who has been linked with a host of clubs since he switched to Dean Court last summer.

The report stated that Villa had asked about Wilson in January but had been put off by a £7million asking price.

Benteke's expected departure and Fabian Delph's £8million switch to Manchester City could boost boss Tim Sherwood's spending power.
