Helenius keen on Villa move
Aston Villa transfer target Nicklas Helenius is hopeful Danish club AaB will sell him to the Premier League outfit.
Villa confirmed on Tuesday that they were in negotiations with AaB over the 22-year-old striker.
And Helenius is hopeful his club will not prevent him from completing a move to Villa Park.
"I hope that AaB will show enough cooperation and not demand too much money for me," he told Nordjyske.
"The market is not ready for big transfers at the moment. I have already secured the club a lot of money through my goals, and I am on my first professional contract.
"So I am not making an awful lot of money."
Helenius scored 16 goals in 33 Danish Superliga matches last season, helping his club to a fifth-placed finish that will see them enter the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.
He also finished as the second-highest scorer in the league after a prolific campaign.
Helenius has netted 36 goals in 98 career appearances for AaB and has also won three caps for Denmark.
