Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Aston Villa.
The England international has made a remarkable impact on loan at West Ham United since January, contributing nine goals and three assists from just 10 Premier League appearances.
United may now look to negotiate a new deal with Lingard in a bid to fend off increasing interest in his signature.
However, according to Football Insider, Villa are the latest club to identify the 28-year-old as a possible addition later in 2021.
The report suggests that the West Midlands outfit value Lingard's versatility in the final third at a time when they are looking for extra creative options.
The playmaker's contract at Old Trafford is due to expire at the end of the 2021-22 campaign. body check tags ::
