Aston Villa have agreed a fee of £9 million for Lille midfielder, Idrissa Gueye.
Gueye, 25, is understood to be close to a move to the Midlands side after the two clubs agreed a deal late on 1st July according to Sky Sports.
Gueye has been tracked by numerous Premier League clubs including Southampton, and West Ham, but it seems Villa have beaten their Premier League rivals in agreeing a fee for the Senegalese international.

He has a deadly passing range and has added goals to his game in recent years. The Lille man is said to be a competitor something Sherwood is looking for in his side.
He is expected to arrive in the England to discuss personal terms on the 2nd July.
