Aston Villa are ready to launch a bid for Sporting CP attacker Pedro Goncalves.
The Birmingham Mail says Villa co-owner Nassef Sawiris is a big fan of the Portuguese and is seen as a priority reinforcement.
Villa has been closely following Pote for some time and interest in the versatile Sporting player has increased considerably. The performances of the Portugal international against Arsenal, namely in the match played at the Emirates, where Pote scored a stunning goal that took the game into extra time, contributed to this.
Sawairis is a huge fan and eager to bring him back to England.
Pote is a former Wolves youth teamer.
