The imminent signing of Barcelona youngster Adama Traore might have been a big coup for Aston Villa and Tim Sherwood but if reports by Foot Mercato are to be believed then Aston Villa fans might be in for another top class signing in the shape of Monaco defender Aymen Abdennour.
Aymen was one of the standout players for Monaco last season and according to the reports, a fee of £20 million could be enough to lure Monaco into selling him.
Needless to say, Monaco would not be keen to sell one of the their defensive leaders on the cheap and considering the new TV rights deal for English clubs, Aston Villa do have the money to seal this deal.
However, it must be noted that clubs like Roma as well as Liverpool have also enquired about his availability, which is why Aston Villa fans would certainly want their club to act fast in order to avoid a bidding war.
