FC Metz's 18-year-old wonderkid Pape Matar Sarr is interesting Aston Villa.
Joris Crolbois, of RMC Sport, says Villa have already started their pursuit of the talented teenager.
However, he has also caught the eye of AC Milan, Everton and Newcastle United in recent months.
Having been linked with a move to the Premier League this summer after a stunning breakthrough season in France with Ligue 1 side Metz, Sarr could be next through the door at Villa as the club's recruitment team are tipped to complete their transfer business early, says the Birmingham Mail.
