Manchester United forward, Marcus Rashford is set to join Aston Villa on a loan deal.
Fabrizio Romano, a football transfer analyst, believes the deal is “very close”.
Unai Emery, Villa manager, is looking to reinforce his assault following Jhon Duran’s move to Al Nassr.
The Midlands club are also in talks to bring in Marco Asensio from Paris Saint-Germain.
Romano wrote on X: “Marco Asensio remains separate topic from Rashford for Aston Villa.
“#AVFC have been in talks with Paris Saint-Germain and agent Mendes, as reported.
“Asensio can now leave on loan with Ndour joining Fiorentina.
“Rashford, very close… while talks for Asensio continue.”
Rashford has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim and has not played for United since last December.
