Aston Villa target Lewis Dunk will reportedly join Leicester City from Brighton and Hove Albion.

Aston Villa look set to miss out on reported Lewis Dunk, with The Sun reporting that Brighton and Hove Albion central defender is joining Leicester City in the summer transfer window.

The Sun had earlier reported of interest in Brighton defender Dunk from Villa, who will play in the Premier League next season after clinching promotion from the Championship.

The 27-year-old central defender is a very good and experienced central defender who has done well in the Premier League.

However, it seems that Villa are set to miss out on the signature of the England international, with The Sun reporting this afternoon that Leicester have agreed a £45m deal with Brighton over his transfer.

Dunk will reportedly replace Harry Maguire at Leicester, with the England international claimed to be on his way to Manchester United for £80m.

Perhaps Villa do not need Dunk. After all, the Villans recently signed Tyrone Mings on a permanent contract from Bournemouth and also brought fellow central defender Ezri Konsa to Villa Park from Brentford.
