Reims defender Ghislain Konan a target for Southampton and Aston Villa

Reims defender Ghislain Konan is a target for Southampton and Aston Villa.

The Daily Mail says the Ligue 1 club would be looking for a fee in the region of €6million (£5.1m).

Aston Villa are also understood to be monitoring the 25-year-old, who is thought to be open to a Premier League move.

The defender has just one year left on his contract at Stade Auguste-Delaune having moved to France from Portuguese outfit VitoriaGuimaraes in 2018.

Southampton have a void to fill on the left-hand side of their defence after Ryan Bertrand announced he would not be renewing his contract at St Mary's.
