Having been the Premier League’s [biggest spenders last summer](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/transfers/verein/405), the Midlands side will undoubtedly be hoping to bring in the right players this time around and one of those being [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/aston-villa/aston-villa-fans-have-mixed-response-to-said-benrahma-links/) with a move to Villa Park is Brentford’s lively attacker [Benrahma.](https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-face-fresh-competition-18678198)

> The ideal window would be Watkins, benrahma, Rashica, swift, cash and Henry. Benrahma Rashica and Watkins can play off both wings. Rashica and Watkins can play striker. Rashica and grealish can both play attacking midfielder and left wing giving versatility
