According to Le Foot, via Sports Witness, Aston Villa are interested in signing Nantes attacker Valentin Rongier in this summer's transfer window.

The report is actually based around Lyon's interest in Rongier but Villa - and Southampton - have also been mentioned when it comes to the 24-year-old.

The midfielder has just come off the back of a decent season for Nantes - scoring four times and contributing seven assists in 43 appearances in all competitions.

Rongier has a contract with his Ligue 1 side until the summer of 2022 but could be leaving ahead of the 2019-20 campaign in search of pastures new.

It is expected to be a fairly busy summer transfer window for Villa as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.
