Southampton have accepted a bid from Aston Villa for Matt Targett.

Sky Sports says Villa have agreed a deal to buy left-back Targett from Southampton for £14m.

The Midlands side are seeking to strengthen their team ahead of their first campaign back in the Premier League since 2016.

They have already signed striker Wesley from Club Brugge and winger Jota from rivals Birmingham, as well as making the loan deals of Anwar El Ghazi and Kortney Hause permanent.

Targett will compete with Neil Taylor for the left-back position in Dean Smith's side.
