8 Transfers Who Could Replace Christian Benteke at Aston Villa

7. Moussa Konaté

Aston Villa have been scouting the Swiss league a fair bit this summer and FC Sion's Moussa Konaté is the latest name to be linked to the club. The Senegalese forward, who can also play as a winger, has had a varied career despite being only 22, with spells in Israel, Russia and Italy. The striker has already scored in the Swiss 15/16 season and looks to be carrying on from where he left off last season - during which he scored 22 goals in 33 appearances. With Watford and West Ham reportedly eyeing a move for Konaté, Villa may have to act fast to secure his services though he could be persuaded by the chance to link up with fellow international Idrissa Gueye.
