Aston Villa will not be signing Nuremberg midfielder Hiroshi Kiyotake, according to reports.
The German club's general manager Martin Bader had previously revealed that Villa had made an enquiry for the 23-year-old.
However, according to the Birmingham Mail, the Premier League outfit will not be taking their interest any further after being told that the Japanese international is not for sale.
Manager Paul Lambert has already made six signings during the summer.
