Tielemans to Villa?

Youri Tielemans has emerged as a target for Aston Villa after the Belgian was listed among seven players leaving Leicester this summer along with Daniel Amartey, Ayoze Perez, Caglar Soyuncu, Papy Mendy, Ryan Bertrand and Tete. Tielemans has been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United in the past few years, but now Villa are said to be interested as head coach Unai Emery looks to strengthen his squad before a season in the Europa Conference League.

“Emery also admires Villarreal’s Pau Torres, 26, at his old club, where the goalkeeper is entering the final year of his deal at the La Liga side.”

Atleti eye Zaha

Atletico Madrid are looking to tempt Wilfried Zaha away from Crystal Palace as the forward ponders his options this summer, the Daily Mail reports. Zaha is out of contract soon but is giving serious consideration to a £200,000-a-week offer from current club Palace, who are determined to keep the 30-year-old. However, Atletico remain keen on a player they tried to sign in 2020, and will hope the lure of the Champions League can sway the Ivory Coast international.

“But given his contractual status, Zaha is free to discuss potential moves away from Selhurst and does not want to rush his decision.

“In addition to Atletico’s interest, Zaha has several offers from the Middle East, mainly in Saudi Arabia.”
