# Aston Villa: PSV enquire over Wesley deal

**PSV Eindhoven have asked Aston Villa for information on striker Wesley Moraes ahead of a possible swoop.**

### The Lowdown: Wesley’s Villa Park struggles

It’s safe to say Wesley hasn’t exactly made the impact he would’ve hoped after joining from Club Brugge in 2019 for [£22.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/transfers/spieler/381362).

He scored just [six goals in 22 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/leistungsdaten/spieler/381362) before suffering a [serious injury against Burnley on New Year’s Day 2020](https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/football-news/wesley-injury-aston-villa-burnley-17503960).

The Brazilian missed the rest of the 2020/21 season and the majority of the current campaign, making [three brief substitute appearances in recent weeks](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/leistungsdaten/spieler/381362).

Villa are [looking to loan out the 24-year-old in the summer](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-wesley-not-expected-to-be-at-aston-villa-next-season-as-transfer-plan-revealed/), and it seems as if they have a potential suitor for the [£35,000-a-week](https://www.spotrac.com/epl/aston-villa-fc/wesley-moraes-31623/) man.

### The Latest: Source shares update

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/psv-eindhoven-set-sights-on-aston-villa-star-wesley/), who have been informed by a Dutch source, PSV have made an enquiry and are looking at a year-long loan.

The Dutch heavyweights, who have [two European Cup triumphs in their history](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/psv-eindhoven/erfolge/verein/383), want to be sure Wesley is over his injury issues before committing to a possible deal.

### The Verdict: A good move for all involved?

Should guaranteed game time be offered by PSV, we feel as if a temporary move to the Netherlands would be good for Wesley.

It would give him the chance to get back to his best in a competitive league, while also [possibly playing Champions League football](https://www.skysports.com/eredivisie-table).

PSV will be getting a forward capable of scoring plenty of goals, with Wesley netting [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wesley/leistungsdaten/spieler/381362/plus/0?saison=2018) times in Belgium in the 2018/19 campaign prior to his move to the Midlands.

Rivals Ajax have scored [28 more goals than PSV this season](https://www.skysports.com/eredivisie-table), so the acquisition of Wesley could help them table a stronger challenge next season.

As for Villa, should things go well, they would then be getting a forward back full of confidence for the 2022/23 season, which may prove to be a shrewd move by Villa officials.
