Cesar Villaluz to Aston Villa?

Aston Villa are monitoring creative midfielder Cesar Villaluz. The Cruz Azul player is valued by his club in the region of £6 million and is also being tracked by Tottenham and Chelsea.

The 20 year old was part of the successful under-17 Mexico side that won the trophy in 2005, and paired with Giovanni dos Santos and Carlos Vela up front.

The diminutive playmaker has also represented the full Mexico side, and is highly rated by Sven-Goran Eriksson, who coached the player. At 5'5 the player does not have much physical power, but makes up for it in talent.

Villa will reportedly make their initial offers for the player in the next couple of weeks.
