Revealed: Keinan Davis undergoing medical after Aston Villa agree £2m deal

Aston Villa striker Keinan Davis is in Italy having a medical at Udinese, sources have told Football Insider.

The 25-year-old has agreed the terms of a permanent move to the Serie A club and is set to sign ahead of Friday’s deadline.

Villa have accepted a bid of around £2million for the striker to put an an end to the long running saga over his future.

The 25-year-old has entered the final year of his contract at Villa Park after signing an extension back in 2017.

Davis joined the Villans’ Under-18s in 2015 from Biggleswade Town and since moving up to the first team six years ago has made 86 appearances across all competitions.

The striker has netted six goals and offered up seven assists in those outings.

Davis spent the second half of the 2021-22 season and the entirety of the 2022-23 season on loan with Nottingham Forest and Watford respectively.

Unai Emery’s side already have a strong attacking line with Ollie Watkins massively stepping up his game last term.

The 27-year-old scored 15 goals in 37 Premier League appearances and offered up six assists in those outings.

The Villans also added 19-year-old Jhon Duran to the squad back in January and scored in their Europa Conference League play-off match against Scottish side Hibernian last night (31 August).

Duran arrived in the Premier League from MLS side Chicago Fire where he scored eight goals in 28 appearances .
