Aston Villa left-back, Lucas Digne has been subject to interest from his former club, AS Roma as they look for a replacement.
It had looked like over the summer, the French fullback was going to be departing from Villa Park, but a move never came.
The Villains looked at Marcos Acuna and a move looked close, but after an injury to the Argentine, the deal fell through.
Digne has been in great form so far this season, as he has proven many Villa fans wrong who were happy to see him sold.
One goal and five assists across all competitions have made him an important cog in Emery’s system.
Should Aston Villa sell Lucas Digne to Roma?
According to Il Romanista, their Roma sporting director has a strong interest in the Villa man.
Tiago Pinto has allegedly ‘set his sights’ on the Frenchman as they look to replace Leonardo Spinazzola.
It looks as if this is the Italian’s last season in Rome with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season, and he looks unlikely to sign a new deal.
The feeling over the summer was that Digne was happy to leave the club, and a return to a former club may suit him.
If Alex Moreno comes back and hits the ground running then a move away may not be the worst move from either party.
On the other hand, he has been in top form this season and selling him while his importance is high, may not be the best plan.
