Aston Villa face Prem competition for unhappy Marseille midfielder Guendouzi

Premier League clubs are queuing to bring Marseille midfielder Matteo Guendouzi back to England.

The former Arsenal midfielder, after last season's success under Jorge Sampaoli at OM, has battled for consistency this term with Igor Tudor in charge.

Guendouzi spent last season on-loan at OM before signing permanently in the summer.

But a return to the Premier League could now be on, with L'Equipe reporting Newcastle, Aston Villa and West Ham all keen.

At Villa, Guendouzi would be united with his former Arsenal manager Unai Emery.

The France international's contract with OM runs to 2025.
