Sochaux winger Ryad Boudebouz would welcome a move to Aston Villa.
It is thought Villa are poised to formalise their interest in the 23-year-old with a bid in the coming days after Paul Lambert's scouts were spotted at Sochaux's 1-1 draw with Evian on Saturday.
Speaking to Le10Sport, Boudebouz said: "If there is an offer [from Aston Villa] on the president's desk, I will look at it carefully."
