Premiership strugglers Aston Villa are reportedly in talks for Le Havre midfielder Gueida Fofana. The Midlanders are understood to have agreed a fee with the Frenchman and a deal will be concluded in the January transfer window.
The French Under-19 captain has attracted the interest of a number of top clubs in the past, including Liverpool and Chelsea , but Villa's French boss Gerard Houllier looks to have won the day.
