Aston Villa have made an offer for AC Milan striker Charles De Ketelaere.

The Belgium international joined Milan a year ago from Club Brugge, but struggled to make an impact in his first season in Serie A.

Villa made an attempt for De Ketelaere 12 months ago and are ready to try again.

Italian journalist Giovanni Capuano is reporting Villa have submitted a £25m bid for the youngster.

He claims that the arrival of Christian Pulisic from Chelsea will "close the way" for De Ketelaere to remain at Milan.
