Aston Villa are reportedly preparing an ambitious bid to lure Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze away from AC Milan, Soccernet.ng understands.
Despite Chukwueze’s underwhelming start to his Serie A career, Villa boss Unai Emery remains keen on adding the Super Eagles star to his squad, viewing the player as a key piece to strengthen his attacking option.
Italian journalist Alessandro Jacobone revealed via social media that Aston Villa has identified Chukwueze as a prime target.

The Rossoneri winger, signed by Milan in July 2023, struggled to make a significant impact in his debut season and is yet to hit new heights this term.
Nevertheless, Villa appear undeterred by Chukwueze’s modest return of three goals and one assist across all competitions so far this season.
The Premier League club’s proposal reportedly includes a swap deal involving Jaden Philogene, a promising English winger valued at around £15 millionn.
