With Emiliano Martinez reportedly having undergone a medical at the weekend, it seems that another player is set to join Aston Villa.
The Sun reported on Saturday that Martinez was to undergo a medical that day and complete a £20 million move from Arsenal to Villa.
It seems that that deal is going through, and now RMC Sport has claimed that Bertrand Traore is on the verge of moving to the Villans.
RMC Sport has reported that Villa and Lyon have reached an agreement over the transfer of the former Chelsea player.
It has been claimed that the 25-year-old – who can operate as a forward or as an attacking midfielder – will undergo a medical today and sign a three-year contract.
