Dean Smith’s Aston Villa side have made some impressive additions to their squad already this summer.

According to The Sun, Aston Villa want Mahmoud Trezeguet from Kasimpasa this summer.

Villa’s scouts have been said to have been very impressed by Trezeguet’s performances at the African Cup of Nations for Egypt.

Villa are now set to launch an £8 million bid for the winger, who is absolutely rapid.

Trezeguet is regarded as one of the fastest players in Africa, and he plays a key role for both club and country.

Last year Trezeguet completed more dribbles than Eden Hazard and Jadon Sancho (King FUT), which says a lot about his style and what he would bring to Villa.

Dean Smith’s side are looking to add another attacker, and Trezeguet’s fearless approach to running with the ball could help increase their attacking threat.

Villa do face competition for the wide-man’s signature though, as Inter Milan are also said to be keen on him.

If Smith could bring Trezeguet to Villa Park, it would be another exciting addition in what has been an impressive first transfer window upon their return to the Premier League.
