Aston Villa name-checked as bid made for 23 y/o whose value is skyrocketing

Aston Villa have been named as one of the sides chasing a move for a rising star, with an unnamed team making a bid in recent days. It is looking set to be a memorable season for Unai Emery and Aston Villa. The Midlands outfit currently sit fourth in the Premier League, and despite a 4-1 loss at the hands of Manchester City in midweek, they didn't lose out too much with both sides below them in the top four race also dropping points. As it stands, they have a two point lead over fifth placed Tottenham, though Ange Postecoglou's side have a game in hand on their counterparts.
