Aston Villa Transfers: 5 Strikers To Target In January To Cover For Christian Benteke’s Loss Of Form

1. Javi Guerra

31-year-old Spanish striker Javi Guerra certainly isn€™t a good option for Villa in the long term, but he might just be the right man for right now. The player currently plays for Valladolid in La Liga who themselves are struggling in the relegation zone. Guerra though has been able to show excellent form despite the fact that he is playing for a poor team. Guerra has scored 11 goals from the 19 league games that he has started, an impressive ratio considering he has only taken 46 shots all season; his consistent level of performance is underpinned by an average rating of 7.12. The player has generally struggled to score goals on a consistent basis, so he is in a good place right now. His record of 65 league goals from 127 games with Valladolid is certainly the best return of his career, but he will want to continue playing his football at the highest level possible. Also, as the player has stayed in Spain for his entire career; he may feel he wants to test himself in a foreign league while he still can.
