Aston Villa are said to be looking at a move to sign young Moroccan Abde Ezzalzouli this summer from Barcelona.
Villa completely bounced back following their first-week woes at St James Park in their last game.
Welcoming a sorry looking Everton to Villa Park, the Toffees never stood a chance.
A 4-0 win, the perfect antidote to their opening day blues, and writing off their negative goal difference for a fresh start against Burnley next weekend.
The win saw two of Unai Emery’s summer signings start with another coming off the bench, and now Nicolo Zaniolo is in training too.
The large number of arrivals at Villa have began to bed in, but they are now reportedly looking at signing a player with a bright future.
Villa looking at Ezzalzouli
Abde Ezzalzouli has found himself as the next target on Villa’s list, with the Villains keen to take advantage of Barcelona’s need to sell.
According to Sport, Villa are one of the clubs who are taking a keen interest in signing the La Masia attacker.
The report mentions that ‘something is brewing’ around a move for the player, who is set to be the man Barcelona chop in a bid to comply with squad rules.
It is believed that the Catalan side would rather see Ansu Fati depart but Abde is said to be more willing and has offers.
If Villa were interested they would need to beat Bayer Leverkusen for his signature.
The German side are close to presenting a €20million (£17m) offer which could be enough to convince La Liga’s champions.
Villa are said to be ‘willing to bid but are seen as second place in this race behind the Bundesliga side.
