Aston Villa admire Yannick Djalo talent

01 December 2011 - 11:39

Alex Mcleish wants to rescue Yannick Djalo from his Sporting Lisbon nightmare, and offer the striker an olive branch with a move that brings the Portuguese international to England.

Man Utd favourites to sign 25yo Newcastle star

Chelsea & Man Utd want to sign Arsenal defender?

Aston Villa have been locked in discussions with Djalo's agent for over three weeks, and are close to agreeing a 3m GBP move with Sporting for his signature.<br />

Djalo was once very highly rated in Portugal, and earned his first cap in 2010. His career took a nose dive since last summer, when Djalo agreed a move to French club Nice, but the deal fell through at the last minute.<br />

Since then, Djalo has not played any first team football and is desperate to move elsewhere.<br />

The Villains are currently in advanced negotiations for the striker.
