Caleb Chukwuemeka is reportedly on his way to Aston Villa from Northampton Town, according to Daily Mail journalist Adrian Kajumba on Twitter.

Enjoying a breakthrough season at the Cobblers, the 19-year-old striker registered three goal contributions in 28 appearances, two goals and one assist [Transfermarkt].

Now, he looks to be close to making a move to the Midlands following recent claims.

Speaking to his social media audience in response to a story from the Mail, Kajumba stated: “This one progressing again after Villa had previous bid rejected. Spurs were keen too, along with others, but feeling now is that Caleb Chukwuemeka is heading to Villa to join his brother Carney.”

Should a deal be concluded for the Englishman, it is said that the potential link-up with his sibling may be a pivotal factor in him choosing to ply his trade at Villa Park [All Nigeria Soccer].

Villa are said to be well ahead in the race for his services moving into the latter stages of the transfer window.

In light of this news, loads of Aston Villa diehards took to social media to sum up their feelings on the latest news.
