Aston Villa are reportedly close to signing midfielder Carlos Sanchez from Elche.

The Colombian impressed for his club side last season, but drew interest from a wider audience after a solid World Cup for his country in Brazil.

A number of European clubs have been linked with a move, but according to the Daily Telegraph, Villa are confident of securing his signature this week.

An earlier report claimed that the 28-year-old, who made 30 La Liga appearances last season, has a release clause of just £4m.
