The Frenchman is thought to have undergone a medical earlier today, before agreeing terms over a five-year contract with the West Midlands outfit.

"I'm really pleased Jordan decided to choose Aston Villa over the other options he had and opt to continue his development with us. I know he is very highly rated over in France so we are delighted to get this deal over the line." manager Tim Sherwood told the club's official website.
