"Aston Villa are reportedly closely monitoring the situation of Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor ahead of the January transfer window. The French forward has started brightly for Sunderland this season and it makes sense that he's starting to attract interest from elsewhere. According to Football Insider, Isidor is firmly on Villa's radar, with Sunderland valuing him at around 35m. Isidor initially joined the Black Cats on loan but then joined permanently, and he's proven a major success at the Stadium of Light."
"One imagines he could also surely do an important job at Villa Park right now, with Unai Emery's side struggling for goals so far this season.

"However, one imagines Sunderland will make it difficult for any deal to be done in the middle of the season as they can't afford to risk losing players who'll be so key to helping them avoid relegation. Newly-promoted sides have badly struggled in the Premier League in recent times, so it's surely unthinkable for Sunderland to consider letting Isidor go now when he's proving such a hit in the top flight."
Aston Villa are monitoring Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor ahead of the January window. The French forward began the season strongly for Sunderland after an initial loan and subsequent permanent move. Sunderland value Isidor at around £35m. Unai Emery's side have struggled for goals, with Ollie Watkins in a notable dry spell and reportedly unhappy after a blocked move. Isidor is viewed as a potential upgrade to lead Villa's attack. Sunderland are unlikely to sell mid-season because they need key players to avoid relegation, meaning Villa would likely need to offer significant money.
