This time last year it was transfer deadline day, and Aston Villa were on the lookout for a new striker.
In the end, Villa didn’t end up signing anyone on deadline day, but that very nearly wasn’t the case.
Indeed, at one point it looked as though the Midlands club would be signing Josh King from Bournemouth for £10m, and in hindsight, it looks as though Villa have had a very lucky escape.
