# Aston Villa: Fans react as Callum Wilson could arrive in Scott Hogan swap deal

**Many Aston Villa fans have reacted to a report by the [Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/08/mike-mcgraths-transfer-notebook-liverpool-monitoring-olympiakos/) that claims a move for Callum Wilson could include Scott Hogan joining Bournemouth.**

After suffering relegation with the Cherries, Wilson will seemingly be keen to find a route back into the Premier League.

Villa, who survived on the final day of the season thanks to a 1-1 draw with West Ham United, will look to make some improvements to their squad this summer and it is thought that boss Dean Smith is keen to add a striker.

Having seen the likes of Wesley, Mbwana Samatta and Keinan Davis all struggle to find [consistent goalscoring form](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/24/Show/England-Aston-Villa), Smith is now being linked with a move for Wilson.

[The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2020/08/08/mike-mcgraths-transfer-notebook-liverpool-monitoring-olympiakos/) report that a deal for 28-year-old could include Hogan, who scored [seven goals in 17 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-hogan/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/138783/wettbewerb/GB2/saison/2019) on loan with Birmingham City in the second half of last season, moving in the opposite direction.

Reacting to the report via Twitter account @villareport, Claret and Blue fans gave their opinion on the potential swap deal and it seems they are split. Whilst some are keen due to Wilson’s decent top flight record – he has netted [41 times in 126 Premier League matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/callum-wilson/detaillierteleistungsdaten/spieler/123682) – others think he could be a risk given his [high wages](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/afc-bournemouth/payroll/).

> Wilson is a risk for me. He’s injury prone and he’s only actually had one 10+ goal season. Josh King has actually outscored him most seasons and is better suited as a solo striker. He’s the one I’d be enquiring about.

> Definitely a ‘no brainer’. Hogan will never get a sniff at Villa. He’s Championship level. Wilson has a ton of PL experience and would be a tidy backup striker.
