Aston Villa are weighing up a move for Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi.

Villa are lining up a summer move for Ndidi, who could cost in the region of £50million, says the Daily Star.

Villa are thinking big in the summer after a January transfer window in which they attracted Philippe Coutinho and Lucas Digne to the club.

Steven Gerrard is expected to be granted further substantial funding in the summer to continue his claret and blue rebuild, and it might be that Villa look away from first-choice midfield target Yves Bissouma of Brighton and Hove Albion.

Bissouma, a Malian international, was the subject of a bid from Villa in January but the Seagulls turned that bid down; he'll have only 12 months left on his contract once the summer arrives and the competition for his signature then could be stern.
