Following their promotion to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs, Aston Villa are looking to get their squad ready for the upcoming top-tier campaign. Today’s Villa transfer roundup includes interest in a Belgian winger, the pursuit of a Premier League defender and an update in regards to a former loan defender.
Trossard interest
According to the Argus, Aston Villa have joined Brighton and Hove Albion in the race to sign Genk winger Leandro Trossard. However, Brighton are still believed to be ahead, with them having the first refusal after agreeing a fee just under £18m for the player. The 24-year-old bagged 22 goals and 11 assists last season.
Villans after Gibson
TEAMtalk is reporting that Aston Villa are interested in Burnley’s Ben Gibson. The report says that all three newly-promoted Premier League clubs are after the 26-year-old former Middlesborough man, who played just five games for the Clarets last season.
Mings pursuit to gather pace
Dean Smith and co’s pursuit of Tyrone Mings is set to gather pace according to the Birmingham Mail. Mings has returned from his end-of-season holiday, and Villa are now looking to get a deal sorted as soon as possible.
