Aston Villa made an enquiry this window over the possible transfer of Toulouse forward, Wissam Ben Yedder.
The Guardian report how The Villans joined Premier League rivals, Crystal Palace and West Ham in the chase for Ben Yedder, who has found the net seven times in 17 appearances so far this season in the French Ligue 1.
Ben Yedder revealed in a Tweet his intentions though to help Toulouse fight against relegation from the French top division, earlier last week.

The 25-year old has spent most of his career at Toulouse bar one campaign. During his time at the French side, he has amassed an impressive 58 goals in 138 appearances with the striker consistently featuring at the top end of the Ligue 1 goal charts.
It’ll come as a disappointment to Villa fans who are desperate for a striker that he has opted to remain in France.
