according to GiveMeSportAston Villa have shown an interest in signing England and Lille midfielder Angel Gomes.
The Premier League club have enjoyed a great start to the season under manager Unai Emery.
They have managed to win both of their Champions League games and are currently fifth in the Premier League standings.
Their famous win against Bayern Munich has given them hope for a brighter future with the club ready to back Emery to make further additions to the squad.
Gomes is the latest player being monitored by the Premier League club and could join as a free agent as his contract with the French club expires at the end of the season.
Villa have joined Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle United in the race to sign the former Red Devils midfielder who recently made his Three Lions debut under Lee Carsley.
Man United have been chasing the midfielder recently and any club interested in a move to sign him would have to beat Erik ten Hag’s side to his signature.
In the meantime, Barcelona has consulted signing Villa striker Jhon Duran who is scoring goals for fun this season.
Gomes’ performances in England have shown that the player is good enough to play alongside Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham, Jack Grealish and Cole Palmer.
Aston Villa face competition to sign Angel Gomes
Bundesliga and Serie A clubs have also shown interest in signing the England midfielder, but it all depends on who makes the move to sign him in the January transfer window.
Lille have the chance to sell him in January, but if they don’t offload him in the winter, they should prepare to lose him for free in the summer transfer window.
The arrival of Gomes at the club could mean the end of Jacob Ramsey at Villa Park who could leave the Premier League club next year.
Aston Villa have been smart in the transfer market before and they will be expected to perform similarly moving forward with Emery.
