Villa are stuck in relegation places, with Dean Smith’s side in 17th place.
They have struggled for goals, with captain Jack Grealish bearing the burden.
With £22million signing Wesley now ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, Smith is short of strikers.
Villa are now looking to Adebayor, who is a free agent.
The 36-year-old left Turkish side Kayserispor last month.
He has previously played for Arsenal, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Manchester City in the Premier League.
