According to ɾєρօɾτs,Aston Villaare ‘considering’ a move forNottingham ForestforwardBrennan Johnson, who is also being targeted byBrentford.
After Unai Emery masterminded Villa’s rapid rise up thePremier Leaguetable last term, they are not messing around in the transfer market ahead of their season in the Europa Conference League.
They have already signed Pau Torres and Youri Tielemans from Villarreal and Leicester City respectively and they are far from finished.
Earlier this week, it was ɾєρօɾτed thatAston Villa have leapfrogged Arsenal and Newcastle United in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen forward Moussa Diaby.
NowThe Telegraph are ɾєρօɾτingthat ‘Villa have made a £30 million bid for Leverkusen winger Diaby and are considering an offer forNottingham Forestforward Johnson’.
The Villans are ‘confident’ that a ‘Ԁєɑł can be struck’ for Diaby as ‘negotiations remain ongoing’ with the Bundesliga outfit after their opening bid was turned down.
Johnson meanwhile is ’emerging as a genuine option’ forAston Villa. The 22-year-old grabbed eight goals and three assists in thePremier Leaguelast season as Forest avoided relegation.
andThe Telegraphare ɾєρօɾτing that he is ‘rated at over £50m’.
Despite this,Aston Villa‘believe they could agree a fee at a lower price’ and defєɴԀer Lucas Dignehas been ‘mentioned during initial discussions between the two clubs, with Forest having an interest as they are seeking reinforcements in that position’. The ɾєρօɾτ adds.
