Report: Harold Moukoudi to cost Aston Villa £10m

Aston Villa reportedly want Harold Moukoudi on loan from Le Havre on transfer deadline day.

Le Havre defender Harold Moukoudi will cost Aston Villa £10 million in transfer fees, according to The Mirror.

It has been reported that Villa are set to secure the services of Moukoudi on loan from Le Havre on transfer deadline day.

The report has claimed that the Villans plan to sign the defender on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a permanent move.

The Mirror has also reported that the 20-year-old defender will cost Villa £10m in transfer fees for a permanent deal.

Expensive signing?

Villa do need a central defender this summer, and Moukoudi would be a good signing for the Championship club.

However, the France Under-20 international is only 20 years of age, and Villa must not rush into thinking about a permanent signing rightaway.

The Villans must judge how the French youngster does in the coming weeks and months, if indeed they are able to sign the defender on loan from Le Havre.
