Aston Villa to bid for Norwich midfielder Todd Cantwell

Aston Villa are ready to bid for Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell.

Football Insider says Villa are in advanced talks with the Canaries and there is growing confidence a £20million deal can be reached during the summer transfer window.

The Villans are closing in on their second big-money signing from Carrow Road after landing Emiliano Buendia last month.

Buendia moved to Villa Park for a club-record £33m fee, which could rise to £38m with add-ons.

Cantwell has attracted a lot of interest and Villa boss Dean Smith has been impressed by his versatility.

The 23-year-old mainly plays as a left midfielder but can cover all sorts of positions in the middle of the park and can operate in the wings up front.
