Aaron Tshibola is reportedly set to leave Aston Villa to join Kilmarnock.

Aaron Tshibola of Kilmarnock vies with Stuart Armstrong of Celtic during the Scottish Premier League between Celtic and Kilmarnock at Celtic Park on May 9, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Aston Villa midfielder Aaron Tshibola is reportedly set to join Scottish club Kilmarnock this summer.

According to the Scottish Sun, the 23-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Villa and is now set for the exit and a move north of the border.

The report claims that the DR Congo international has been training with Kilmarnock in the last few days ahead of a switch.

Tshibola appears to be nowhere in the plans of Villa manager Steve Bruce this season and spent some time on loan with Kilmarnock in the last campaign, who he is now primed to rejoin.

The central midfielder only moved to the Midlands giants two years ago for a £5million fee, but he has been unable to show the kind of form he displayed at Reading.

Scottish clubs still have up until the Friday deadline to sign players and Tshibola is one of those Kilmarnock allegedly want to add to their ranks.

Meanwhile, Villa have made an unbeaten start to the new league season and sit fourth in the Championship table.

They face Burton Albion on Tuesday night in a League Cup clash, before travelling to Sheffield United in the league.
