Aston Villa are favourites for Groningen winger Tjaronn Chery.

The Sun says Villa are in talks to land the 27-year-old, and are close to meeting the Dutch club's asking price.

Villa will have to fight off interest from Saudi Arabian side Al Ahli who will offer him more money.

Chery scored 17 goals last season with 15 coming in the Eredivisie, and provided 12 assists in all competitions.
