Aston Villa are interested in Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo.

Arthur has just completed a loan with Liverpool and has been encouraged to find himself a new club.

A return to England has been mooted for Arthur where Villa are keen.

The Brazil midfielder's agent Federico Pastorello said: "Arthur? He's not part of the coach's tactical plans even if there's great mutual esteem.

"So inevitably we'll have to find a new loan deal or in any case a permanent sale."
