Villa considering move for Anderlecht youngster

Aston Villa are considering a move for Anderlecht’s Dennis Praet, per Talk Sport.

Praet, who is a Belgium international, is an attacking midfielder who can also play on the left wing or a deeper midfield position.

The Belgian could add a much need extra dimension to Remi Garde’s attack, with Praet having scored four goals and provided four assists in 17 league appearances for Anderlecht this season.

It has been suggested that Villa will make an offer of around £10 million in the January transfer window, which they hope will fend off interest from Arsenal.

That figure is likely to be accepted though, according to Voetball Krant, but the Belgian outfit may hold out for a larger sum in either January or next summer, whether that be from Villa or Arsenal.

Praet joined Anderlecht from Genk in 2010 and has since made 154 appearances for the club, scoring 22 goals.
