Aston Villa want to sign Manchester City attacker Omar Marmoush in the summer transfer window, according to The Times.
Villa manager Unai Emery wanted the Egyptian at Villa Park in a loan move during the winter transfer window before moving for Tammy Abraham.

Marmoush has five goals in five appearances in other competitions this term and did bag 28 goals and 17 assists across all competitions last season.
