Aston Villa will have to guarantee Burnley striker Jay Rodriguez regular playing time if they stand any chance of signing him this month. Villa want to add two strikers to their forward line after £22million summer signing Wesley was ruled out for the season with a knee injury last week. Despite featuring in every Premier League game under Sean Dyche this season, Rodriguez has only started five times. And, according to The Athletic, the guarantee of more regular game time may be the only promise which can swindle Rodriguez into joining Villa.
