Villa remain attentive to the Leverkusen attacking midfielder's progress, TEAMtalk's Graeme Bailey reported on September 27th, alongside Chelsea and Manchester City, all three named in earlier TEAMtalk reporting. The same report says Arsenal and Tottenham have now joined the race. No approach, bid, or fee has been reported for Villa, and no timeline has been set. The 20-year-old plays mainly as a 10, working in the half-spaces.
