Ashley Young has called on Peter Crouch to come join him at Aston Villa as his strike partner. Aston Villa have been linked with a move for the Liverpool hitman during the summer, and a move could be pushed through in January.

Young meanwhile has said the former Villa player will be adding a new dimension to the strike department at Villa Park.

"I'd love to see him here because he's such a clever player," Young, who is the record signing for Villa, said in the Mirror.

"He's gangly and awkward-looking but he's got incredible feet and he knows where the goal is.

"It seems to be only talk but if he came here in the January transfer window it would be great because you can never have too many good strikers.

"We've got quick players like Gabriel Agbonlahor and Luke Moore but Crouchy is something different again."
