Aston Villa’s Leandro Bacuna is a wanted man, according to reports in Holland.
Reports emanating from the Netherlands today suggest that Aston Villa midfielder Leandro Bacuna is drawing interest from clubs in China and Portugal, as reported by Dutch media outlet Voetbal International.
The 25-year-old made the move to Villa Park from Eredivisie outfit Groningen in the summer of 2013, for a fee believed to be in the region of £3 million, and has since gone on to make 115 appearances for the Villans.

The utility man has performed admirably so far this term for Steve Bruce’s side, which has led to interest in obtaining his signature from China and Portugal, according to Voetbal International.
The report also claims that Turkish side Trabzonspor are interested in signing the Curacao international.

It is unclear as to whether Bruce would be willing to allow Bacuna to leave in January, however, with the emphasis being on bringing players in to strengthen the squad, rather than weakening it by sanctioning departures.
Bacuna’s contract with the club does not expire until the summer of 2020, however, so if Villa were keen to do business, they could expect a fairly substantial fee for the 25-year-old.
