Aston Villa go for Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio

Real Madrid midfielder Marco Asensio is being linked with a host of clubs this summer.

The Spaniard will be out of contract and may be ready to leave Los Blancos for regular first team football.

Asensio is seen as a bench option by coach Carlo Ancelotti over the past couple of years.

Per Liverpool Echo, Aston Villa are emerging as contenders to sign Asensio.

The winger has long been admired by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as well.

However, there is no suggestion the Reds will offer him a contract in the summer.
