Tim Sherwood saw his Aston Villa side secured a narrow away win against Bournemouth in their opening Premier League fixture and the former Spurs boss will be hoping to bring in a new signing or two before the transfer window slams shut.
That could soon change as the Catalan giants are willing to let him leave, with Villa now looking like the suitable destination.
Liverpool and Stoke City were both strongly interested in Adama but Villa appear to have got the edge over their Premier League rivals by agreeing to Barcelona’s demand for a repurchase option as part of the deal.
The attacker had been linked with a switch to Merseyside as Brendan Rodgers looked to bolster his options further, after a very busy summer for the Reds.
When asked about any future incomings Sherwood suggested that he would target English-based players to help keep a balance in the squad.
