Borini is a player who would come as no stranger to fans of English football having spent time as a youngster at Chelsea and moving onto Swansea, Liverpool and Sunderland.

The 29-year-old will soon become a free agent when his contract expires with Verona at the end of the month.

Having scored just three times for his latest club, a move to the Premier League might seem somewhat strange.

Villa could sign him as competition to the squad but after avoiding relegation on the final day last season, they will hope to sign quality over quantity this time around.
