Aston Villa are said to have agreed a fee to sign the Egyptian winger.

The Kasimpasa winger, Trézéguet, appears to have all but confirmed his imminent move to Aston Villa.

The Telegraph reported at the weekend that Trézéguet – whose real name is Mahmoud Ahmed Ibrahim Hassan – was undergoing a medical after Aston Villa agreed an initial fee of £8.75 million with his Turkish employers.

Three days on, Villa have yet to announce what would be their ninth summer signing.

But confirmation looks to be on its way, after Trézéguet began following the Aston Villa strength and conditioning coach, Oli Stevenson, on Instagram.

It is likely that Stevenson will have been involved in Trézéguet’s medical, should the 24-year-old have indeed undertaken one.

Trézéguet, who the Telegraph reports could cost significantly more in add-ons – would be the third wide player to be signed by Aston Villa this closed-season, after Anwar El Ghazi and Jota Peleteiro.

The Egyptian’s national team colleague, Ahmed Elmohamady, is already on the Villans’ books.
